46 Kansas State Agricultural College 



History of the College 



The Kansas State Agricultural College had its origin in the 
Bluemont Central College, an institution established at Man- 
hattan under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church of 
Kansas. The charter for this sectarian institution, approved 
February 9, 1858, provided for the establishment of a classical 
college, but contained the following interesting section : 

"The said association shall have power and authority to establish, in 
addition to the literary departments of arts and sciences, an agricultural 
department, with separate professors, to test soils, experiment in the 
raising of crops, the cultivation of trees, etc., upon a farm set apart for 
the purpose, so as to bring out to the utmost practical results the agri 
cultural advantages of Kansas, especially the capabilities of the high 
prairie lands." 

The corner-stone of the new College was laid on May 10, 
1859, and instruction began about a year later. On March 1, 
1861, a bill passed the legislature establishing a State uni- 
versity at Manhattan, the Bluemont Central College building to 
be donated fpr the purpose. This measure, however, was 
vetoed by Governor Eobinson. 

On July 2, 1862, President Lincoln signed the Morrill Act, 
"An act donating public lands to the several states and terri- 
tories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture 
and the mechanic arts/' Section 1 of this act provides — 

"That there be granted to the several states, for the purposes herein- 
after mentioned, an amount of public lands to be apportioned to each , 
state a quantity equal to 30,000 acres for each senator and representative 
in Congress to which the states are respectively entitled by the appor- 
tionment under the census of 1860." 

Section 4 requires that the money from the sale of these 
lands — 

"Shall constitute a perpetual fund, the capital of which shall remain 
forever undiminished, and the interest of which shall be inviolably ap- 
propriated by each state which may take and claim the benefit of this act, 
to the endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college, where 
the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical 
studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning 
as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the 
legislatures of the states may respectively prescribe, in order to promote 
the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several 
pursuits and professions in life." 

Because of the nature of the endowment made by Congress, 
the institutions founded in accordance with this act are gen- 
erally known as the "land-grant" colleges. It may well be said 



History 47 

that this was the most far-reaching and statesmanlike stroke 
of educational policy that any government has ever initiated. 
On February 3, 1863, Governor Carney signed a joint resolu- 
tion passed by the Kansas legislature, in accordance with 
which the provisions of the Morrill Act "are hereby accepted 
by the State of Kansas; and the State hereby agrees and 
obligates itself to comply with all the provisions of said act." 
On February 16 of the same year the governor signed an act 
which permanently located the College at Manhattan, and 
provided — 

"That the location of the said college is upon this express condition, 
that the Bluemont Central College Association . . . shall . . . 
cede to the State of Kansas, in fee simple, the real estate, . . . 
together with all buildings and appurtenances thereunto belonging; and 
shall . . . transfer and deliver to said State the apparatus and 
library belonging to said Bluemont Central College Association." 

The three commissioners appointed by the governor selected 
82,313.52 acres of the 90,000 granted by Congress. The de- 
ficiency of 7686.48 acres — an amount selected and found to lie 
within a railroad grant — was not made up by Congress till 
1907. 

After the passage of the creative act, no subsequent legisla- 
tion was enacted by the federal government with reference to 
the "land-grant" colleges until the second Morrill Act, for the 
further endowment of agricultural colleges, was passed. This 
hill received the signature of President Harrison on August 30, 
1890. This act applied— 

"A portion of the proceeds of the public lands to the more complete 
endowment and support of the colleges for the benefit of agriculture and 
the mechanic arts established under the provision of an act of Congress 
.approved July second, eighteen hundred and sixty-two." 

It provided — 

"That there shall be and hereby is annually appropriated, out of any 
money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, arising from the sales 
of public lands, to be paid as hereinafter provided, to each state and ter- 
ritory for the more complete endowment and maintenance of colleges for 
the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts now established or which 
may be hereafter established, in accordance with an act of Congress 
approved July 2, 1862, the sum of $15,000 for the year ending June 30, 
1890, and an annual increase of the amount of such appropriation there- 
after for ten years by an additional sum of ,$1000 over the preceding 
year, and the average amount to be paid thereafter to each state and 
■territory shall be $25,000, to be applied only to instruction in agriculture, 
the mechanic arts, the English language, and the various branches of 
mathematics, physical, natural and economic science, with special refer- 
ence to the industries of life and to the facilities for such instruction." 

The third and last act of Congress increasing the income 
of agricultural colleges is the Nelson amendment to the agri- 
cultural appropriation bill, which was approved March 4, 1907. 
In addition, however, to providing for an increase in the sup- 
port of these institutions from federal funds, the law contains 



48 Kansas State Agricultural College 

the very significant provision specially authorizing the agri- 
cultural colleges to use a portion of this federal appropriation 
for the special preparation of instructors for teaching agri- 
culture and mechanic arts. The essential features of the 
Nelson amendment are embodied in the following quotation 
from the bill : 

"That there shall be and hereby is annually appropriated out of any 
money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be paid as here- 
inafter provided, to each state and territory for the more complete en- 
dowment and maintenance of agricultural colleges now established, or 
which may hereafter be established, in accordance with the act of Con- 
gress approved July 2, 1862, and the act of Congress approved August 30, 
1890, the sum of $5000, in addition to the sums named in the said act, 
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, and t;n annual increase of the 
amount of such appropriation thereafter for four years by an additional 
sum of $5000 over the preceding year, and the annual sum to be paid 
thereafter to each state and territory shall be $50,000, to be applied only 
for the purposes of the agricultural colleges as defined and limited in the 
act of Congress approved July 2, 1862, and the act of Congress approved 
August 30, 1890; provided, that said colleges may use a portion of this 
money for providing courses for the special preparation of instructors 
for teaching the elements of agriculture and the mechanic arts." 

The Development of the Kansas Agricultural College 

The President and Faculty of the Bluemont Central College 
became the first board of instruction of the Kansas State Agri- 
cultural College, when the former institution was transferred 
to the State and assumed its present name. The Bluemont 
Central College was a small institution of the older American 
classical type, the curriculum resting upon Greek, Latin, and 
mathematics as the chief fundamentals. Its transfer to the 
State, and its conversion into the State Agricultural College, 
involved at the time merely a change in name. The President 
and Faculty, and the curriculum, remained unchanged. The 
second catalogue, that of 1864-'65, mentions an "agricultural" 
course, comprising one preparatory and two collegiate years ; 
but, although this course was strengthened from time to time, 
the classical studies nevertheless remained until the year 1873,, 
when the character of the institution was radically changed. 
Intensely practical courses replaced the then existing ones. 
The new scheme of instruction involved the abolition of the 
classical course, and the introduction of a practical scheme of 
industrial education, which comprised a farmer's course of six 
years, a mechanic's course covering four years, and a woman's 
course requiring six years. Strong opposition to the new edu- 
cational policies was encountered, but the authorities of the 
institution adhered to them unswervingly, until the complete 
success of the new method silenced criticism. Thus the insti- 
tution became in fact what it had hitherto been only in name— 
an agricultural college. In 1879 the Faculty consisted of the 
* President, five professors, and six instructors of lesser rank* 



Development 49 

with a student body of 207. During this period of development 
the College was removed from the original Bluemont College 
site to its present campus, two miles nearer Manhattan. 

From 1879 to 1897 no radical changes were made in the 
courses of study, but the work was systematized and strength- 
ened in may directions, retaining, however, the distinctive 
stamp of a college related to the industries. In 1897 the stu- 
dent enrollment was 734 — an increase of over 250 per cent 
during the period of eighteen years. The Faculty had grown 
in numbers, and the activities of the institution along investi- 
gative lines had been well begun through the organization of 
the Agricultural Experiment Station. In the spring of 1897, 
owing to certain political changes in the State, and to the 
appointment of a new Board" of Regents that sought radical 
changes along certain directions, the College entered upon 
what seemed at the time a rather serious and critical stage. 
Under the new management greater stress was laid upon the 
study of financial, economic, and social problems. Several 
men of considerable note were added to the Faculty for the 
purpose of strengthening these phases of educational work. 
In 1897, four professional courses, each four years in length, 
were organized — in agriculture, in mechanical engineering, in 
domestic science, and in general science. These years, there- 
fore, mark the beginning of an era of broadening and diversifi- 
cation of the lines of instruction. 

In 1899, political changes set aside the then existing admin- 
istration. During the ten undisturbed years that followed, 
however, the institution experienced an era of solid, substan- 
tial, and uninterrupted growth, gaining steadily in recognition 
and in influence over the State. 

In 1912-'13, the number of heads of departments and full 
professors was thirty-seven, while the entire Board of Instruc- 
tion and employees numbered 210. The student enrollment for 
the year 1912-'13 was 2928. During the decade 1899-1909, 
additional buildings to the value of about $250,000 were erected 
on the campus. „ 

The history of the Kansas State Agricultural College may 
well be divided into five epochs. The first ten years, from 1863 
to 1873, may be called the classical period of the College. The 
succeeding period, from 1873 to 1879, was the formative stage, 
the years of the foundation of the Agricultural College properly 
so called, and bore the stamp of a spirit of pure industrialism 
of the most intensely "practical" type — an era of ultraradical 
revulsion from the literary-classical type of instruction which 
had been supplanted. 

The next eighteen years, from 1879 to 1898, may be called 
the scientific culture period — a period in which, under modified 
ideals, the institution was sought to be used not so much as a 
tool to teach young men and women how to make a living as to 



50 Kansas State Agricultural College 

teach them how to live, and strove to accomplish the end of 
character building by means of scientific and technical train- 
ing having especial reference to agriculture. 

The following period of two years, brief and to a consider- 
able extent marked by revolutionary changes, may well be 
united with the succeeding decade, and may be designated in 
general as the period of expansion and diversification. Ex- 
pansion of courses, with consequent increased flexibility, plas- 
ticity, and adaptability of the means of instruction to the 
various ends of industrial life, marked this epoch of twelve 
^years. In this period we see a rising tendency toward an in- 
creased acknowledgment of the Agricultural College as the 
guardian and custodian of the State's industrial interests, and 
a steady growth of settled confidence over the State in its 
ability to solve the State's industrial problems. 

The present time, therefore, finds the College and its in- 
separable coadjutor, the Experiment Station, occupying a 
position of far-reaching power and influence in connection 
with the most vital interests of the State of Kansas. 

The Agricultural College accomplishes the objects of its 
endowment in several ways. It offers a substantial training in 
mathematics, in the fundamental sciences, in language, in his- 
tory and civics, and in such other branches of human knowl- 
edge as experience has shown to be best adapted to give mental 
discipline, to develop good citizenship, and to furnish a proper 
equipment for entering upon active life. The combination of 
industrial training with the usual class and laboratory work 
has a special educational value. By the training of the hands 
the student is made more efficient in every way, is brought into 
contact with practical things, and is educated toward, rather 
than away from, an interest in industry and manual exertion. 
The general training which the College offers aims, therefore, 
at an equally efficient development of the physical and the 
mental powers. The greatest immediate aid to improvement in 
social well-being and to betterment of the conditions of life is 
a thorough knowledge of science as applied to daily existence. 
In chemistry and physics, in geology, in botany, in bacteriol- 
ogy, in entomology, in mechanics, the student is brought to an 
understanding of the relation of man to the world around him, 
and to a knowledge of how to utilize natural forces for the 
protection and improvement of his own life. 

The College trains directly toward the productive occupa- 
tions in a considerable number of specialized branches. For 
example : In agriculture, the student may specialize in agron- 
omy, horticulture, forestry, animal husbandry, dairying, poul- 
try husbandry, or veterinary science. In engineering, the stu- 
dent may take work in mechanical, electrical, or civil engineer- 
ing ; architecture ; or printing. For the young women, training 



Development 51 

in domestic science, domestic art, home furnishing, home deco- 
ration, etc., is offered. 

A second large object of the College, made effective through 
the Agricultural Experiment Station, is to investigate the 
problems of agriculture in the widest sense. By conducting 
the researches of the Experiment Station in close connection 
with the educational work of the College, opportunity is 
afforded students to gain an understanding and an apprecia- 
tion of the work of scientific investigation, and to become 
better able to appreciate the relation of science to agriculture. 
Opportunity is thus also offered to obtain such training as 
will fit competent students to become investigators, and to 
enter fields of agricultural leadership in the experiment sta- 
tions, in the United States Department of Agriculture, as 
heads of private agricultural enterprises, or in the capacity of 
superintendents and managers of such undertakings. 

In addition to the regular educational work, the College now 
maintains, through the Division of College Extension, a highly 
organized system of agricultural education among the farmers 
themselves. A corps of trained and efficient institute lecturers 
hold meetings in every county in the State, conduct seed trains, 
dairy trains, corn trains, alfalfa trains, and poultry trains, and 
publish two series of pamphlets of information and instruc- 
tion — one for rural teachers, the other for members of farm- 
ers' institutes. In addition to the regular staff of the Division 
of College Extension, many members of the College Board of 
Instruction, and of the staff of the Experiment Station, give 
several weeks of each year to the public work of the farmers' 
institutes. 

Finally, the College and the Station together are being in- 
creasingly charged by the State government with State in- 
dustrial and police duties, such as pure food investigations, 
control of feeding stuffs and fertilizers, State forestry work, 
and other similar duties.

The Experiment Stations 

The Agricultural Experiment Station 

The Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station was organized 
under the provisions of an act of Congress, approved 
March 2, 1887, which is commonly known as the "Hatch Act," 
■and is officially designed as — 

"An act to establish agricultural experiment stations in connection with 
the colleges established in the several states under the provisions of an 
act approved July 2, 1862, and the acts supplementary thereto/' 

The wide scope and far-reaching purposes of this act are 
best comprehended by an extract from the body of the measure 
itself, in which the objects of its enactment are stated as 
being — 

"To aid in acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United 
States useful and practical information on subjects connected with agri- 
culture, and to promote scientific investigation and experiment respecting 
the principles and practice of agricultural science." 

The law specifies in detail — 

"That it shall be the object and duty of said experiment stations to 
conduct original researches or verify experiments on the physiology of 
plants and animals; the diseases to which they are severally subject, with 
remedies for the same; the chemical composition of useful plants at their 
different stages of growth; the comparative advantages of rotative crop- 
ping as pursued under a varying series of crops; the capacity of new 
plants or trees for acclimation; the analysis of soils and waters; the 
chemical composition of manures, natural or artificial, with experiments 
designed to test their comparative effects on crops of different kinds; the 
adaptation and value of grasses for forage plants; the composition and 
digestibility of the different kinds of food for domestic animals; the 
scientific and economic questions involved in the production of butter 
and cheese; and such other researches or experiments bearing directly 
on the agricultural industry of the United States as may in each case be 
deemed advisable." 

On the day after the Hatch Act had received the signature 
of the President, the legislature of Kansas, being then in ses- 
sion, passed a resolution, dated March 3, 1887, accepting the 
conditions of the measure, and vesting the responsibility for 
carrying out its provisions in the Board of Regents of the 
Kansas State Agricultural College. 

Until 1908 the expenses of the Experiment Station were pro- 
vided for entirely by the federal government. The original 
creative act (the Hatch Act) carried an annual congressional 
appropriation of $15,000. No further addition to this amount 
was made until the passage of the Adams Act, which was ap- 



The Experiment Stations 53 

proved by the President March 16, 1906. This measure 
provided, "for the more complete endowment and maintenance 
of agricultural experiment stations," a sum beginning with 
$5000, and increasing each year by $2000 over the preceding 
.year for five years, after which time the annual appropriation 
was to be $15,000— 

"To be applied to paying the necessary expenses of conducting original 
researches or experiments bearing directly on the agricultural industry 
of the United States, having due regard to the varying conditions and 
needs of the respective states or territories." 

It is further provided that — 

"No portion of said moneys exceeding five per centum of each annual 
■appropriation shall be applied, directly or indirectly, under any pretense 
whatever, to the purchase, erection, preservation or repair of any building 
or buildings, or to the purchase or rental of land." 

The Adams Act, providing as it does for original investiga- 
tions, supplied the greatest need of the Experiment Station — 
the means of providing men and equipment for advanced re- 
search. Only such experiments may be entered upon, under 
the provisions of this act, as have first been passed upon and 
approved by the Office of Experiment Stations of the United 
States Department of Agriculture. 

In addition to these, there are now in progress, under the 
Hatch Act and by means of the State fund, a total of over fifty 
lines of investigation and experiment, covering all phases of 
agricultural investigation. 

The farms, live stock, laboratories, and general equipment of 
the College are all directly available for the use of the Experi- 
ment Station. 

In 1913 the legislature of Kansas appropriated the sum of 
$25,000 a year for the next biennium, for the further support 
of the Experiment Station. The income of the Experiment 
Station for the year 1913-'14 is therefore derived as follows : 

Hatch fund (federal) $15,000 

Adams fund (federal) 15,000 

State appropriation (general) 25,000 

State appropriation (special) : 

Cooperative seed experiments 7,500 

Irrigation investigations 2,000 

Total $64,500 

The work of the Experiment Station is published in the 
form of bulletins, which record the results of investigations 
along agricultural lines. These bulletins are of three sorts: 
technical bulletins, which record the results of researches of a 
purely scientific character, provided for under the Adams Act; 
farm bulletins which present the data of the technical bulletins 
in a simplified form, suitable for the general reader; farm bul- 
letins in which a brief, condensed and popular presentation is 



54 Kansas State Agricultural College 

made of data which call for immediate application, and can 
not await publication in the regular bulletin series. 

In addition to the bulletins, which report original investiga- 
tions, the Station also publishes a series of circulars for the 
purpose of conveying needed or useful information, not neces- 
sarily new or original To date the publications of the Station 
number 182 bulletins and twenty-seven circulars. 

All bulletins and other publications from the Experiment 
Station are sent without charge to citizens of the State. Any 
person in the State who so desires may have his name placed 
on the permanent mailing list of the Station. 

Letters of inquiry and general correspondence should be 
addressed: "Agricultural Experiment Station, Manhattan,, 
Kan." Special inquiries should be directed, so far as possible, 
to the heads of departments having in charge the matters con- 
cerning which information is desired. 

PUBLIC WORK OP THE STATION. 

In addition to the work of agricultural investigation and 
research, the State has enlarged the activities of the Station 
along various lines of state executive or control work. 

One of the most important of these adjunct offices is that of 
State Dairy Commissioner, for which an appropriation of 
$7500 a year was made for 1913 and 1914. This official, ap- 
pointed by the Board of Administration, and having his office 
at the seat of the Agricultural College, is required (Laws of 
1909, ch. 237)— - 

"To inspect or cause to be inspected all the creameries, public dairies, 
butter, cheese and ice-cream factories, or any place where milk or cream 
or their products are handled or stored within the State, at least once a 
year, or oftener if possible." 

He may in connection with the Board of Administration of 
the College — 

"Formulate and prescribe such reasonable rules and regulations for 
the operation of creameries, butter, cheese and ice-cream factories and 
public dairies as shall be deemed necessary by such board to fully carry 
out the provisions of this act." 

He may act on complaints regarding the sale of unwhole- 
some or unclean dairy products, and may prohibit their sale. 
He may — 

"Condemn for food purposes all unclean or unwholesome milk, cream, 
butter, cheese or ice-cream, wherever he may find them." 

Another important State function is that of the State Ento- 
mological Commission. (Laws of 1907, ch. 386; 1909, ch. 27.) 
This commission, created in 1907, was established — 

"To suppress and eradicate San Jose scale and other dangerous insect 
p,e*ts and plant diseases throughout the State of Kansas." 



The Experiment Stations 55 

The professors of entomology at the Agricultural College 
and at the State University are by law designated as two of 
the five members of the above commission. Acting under the 
title of State entomologists, they divide between them the ter- 
ritory of the State, for purposes of inspection. 

They are empowered — 

"To enter upon any public premises ... or upon any land of 
.any firm, corporation or private individual within the State of Kansas, 
for the purpose of inspection, destroying, treating or experiment upon 
the insects or diseases aforesaid." 

They may treat or cause to be treated "any and all suspi- 
cious trees, vines, shrubs, plants, and grains/' or, under cer- 
tain conditions, may destroy them. They must annually in- 
spect all nursery stock, and no nursery stock is to be admitted 
within the State without such inspection. For the expenses of 
the work of the commission, $5000 was appropriated in 1913 
for each of the following two years. 

Concerned with the live-stock interests of the State is the 
State Live Stock Registry Board, with regard to which there 
is the following provision (Laws of 1913) : 

"Every person, persons, firm, corporation, company or association 
that shall stand, travel, advertise or offer for public service in any man- 
ner any stallion in the 'State of Kansas, shall secure a license certificate 
for such stallion from the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board, as 
herein provided. Said board shall consist of the dean of the Division of 
Agriculture, head of the Animal Husbandry Department, and the head 
<of the Veterinary Department of the Kansas State Agricultural College." 

To this board is assigned the duty of licensing stallions used 
for breeding purposes within the State, and authority to verify 
their breeding and to classify them under the following heads : 
pure-bred, grade, cross-bred, and scrub. No animal not thus 
approved and licensed with the board is permitted to be used 
for public breeding purposes. 

The suppression of tuberculosis in cattle is also delegated by 
the State to the Agricultural College. (Laws of 1909, ch. 160.) 

Another provision for encouraging the improvement of live 
:stock is embodied in an act of the legislature (Laws of 1909, 
ch. 46) — 

"Providing for experimental and demonstration work with live stock 
at the Kansas State Agricultural College." 

For this purpose there was appropriated the sum of $7500 — 

"Which shall be known as a revolving fund, to be used in providing 
•experimental and demonstration work with live stock at the Kansas State 
Agricultural College, at Manhattan, Kan., under the direction and ap- 
proval of the Board of Regents of said institution; which said fund shall 
be used only for the purpose of purchasing live stock and feed, and such 
other expenses as may be necessary for caring for said stock and con- 
ducting demonstrations and experiments therewith." 



56 Kansas State Agricultural College 

^ Stock thus acquired can be sold by the Board of Administra- 
tion, when in the judgment of the Board it seems advisable, 
and the receipts from such sales are to be turned over to the 
State treasurer's office, there to constitute a "revolving fund/* 
to be drawn upon for new purchases of live stock. 

By legislative act (Laws of 1909, ch. 49) , a "division of for- 
estry" at the Agricultural College is also provided for in the 
following terms : 

"For the promotion of forestry in Kansas there shall be established at 
the Kansas State Agricultural College, under the direction of the Board 
of Regents, a division of forestry. The Board of Regents of the Kansas 
State Agricultural College shall appoint a State forester, who shall have 
general supervision of all experimental and demonstration work in for- 
estry conducted by the Experiment Station. He shall promote practical 
forestry in every possible way, compile and disseminate information 
relative to forestry, and publish the results of such work tkrough bul- 
letins, press notices, and in such other ways as may be most practicable 
to reach the public, and by lecturing before farmers' institutes, associa- 
tions, and other organizations interested in forestry." 

For carrying into effect the provisions of this act, there was 
appropriated for the fiscal years 1912 and 1913, $2000 each. 

The State has also placed the Experiment Station in charge 
of the execution of the acts concerning the manufacture and 
sale of live-stock remedies and commercial feeding-stuffs 
(Laws of 1913), and also of commercial fertilizers (Laws of 
1907, chapter 217) . It is provided by the statutes that — 

"Every brand of live-stock remedy and every brand of commercial 
feeding-stuff offered or held for' sale or sold within the State of Kansas 
shall be registered in the office of the Director of the Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station of the Kansas State Agricultural College, and each sale 
of any such brand not so registered shall constitute a separate violation 
of this act." 

And— 

"Except as herein provided, it shall be unlawful within the State of 
Kansas to sell, offer for sale, or expose for sale any commercial fertilizer 
which has not been officially registered by the Director of the Agricultural 
Experiment Station of the Kansas State Agricultural College." 

These general provisions are limited in their application 
by important exceptions stated in the laws. The fees collected 
under these acts are used to defray the necessary expenses in- 
curred in carrying out the provisions of the act. 

It will thus be seen that the State of Kansas is making in- 
creasing use of the scientific staff of the Experiment Station 
in matters of state importance requiring the application of 
technical knowledge. 

A late and important addition to the Experiment Station is 
the recently established Department of Milling Industry. The 
great economic importance of the wheat and milling interests 
of this State, and the difficult nature of the problems connected 
with the milling and baking quality of wheat, render it im- 



The Experiment Stations 57 

perative that scientific research be conducted on the subject. 
The hearty cooperation and financial support of all the millers' 
associations and of other commercial bodies rendered it finan- 
cially possible to inaugurate this important experimental work 
until special legislative appropriation could be secured. The 
legislature of 1913 appropriated $7500 for mill equipment, and 
there is now being installed the best equipped experimental 
milling plant in the United States. 

The research work includes a complete study of the growing, 
harvesting, storing and marketing practices and their relation 
to the milling value of wheat ; of systems of grading, and their 
effect upon the market value of grain; of insect enemies of 
wheat in the field and in storage; and of flour and mill by- 
products. There will also be conducted a comprehensive study 
of the effects of climate and soil upon the chemical composition 
of wheat, and upon its subsequent milling and baking quality. 
A specially equipped laboratory for carrying on experimental 
baking tests, and for making certain chemical determinations, 
has been installed. This will aid very materially in carrying 
on the research work. 

By the act of the legislature (Laws of 1911, ch. 23, p. 46) 
the Eegents of the Agricultural College are authorized — 

"To investigate the present methods used in growing and distributing 
agricultural seeds in the State; to determine by experiments the methods 
of growing seed best adapted to different localities; to encourage farmers 
in the use of the best methods of seed production; to determine by in- 
vestigation those localities most in need of improved seed, and to aid 
such localities in securing desirable seed." 

For carrying out the provisions of this act, the sum of 
$7500 is appropriated for each of the two years 1912 and 1918. 

Experiments and demonstrations on the proper use of irri- 
gation waters, in cooperation with the irrigation investiga- 
tions of the United States Department of Agriculture, are 
authorized by act of the legislature (Laws of 1911, ch. 214, 
p. 378). For this purpose there was appropriated the sum of 
$2000 annually for the years 1911-'12 and 1912-'13.

Branch Agricultural Experiment Stations 



Fort Hays Branch Station 

The land occupied by this Station is a part of what was origi- 
nally the Fort Hays military reservation. Being no longer re- 
quired for military purposes, it was turned over to the De- 
partment of the Interior October 22, 1899, for disposal under 
the act of Congress of July 5, 1884. Before final disposition of 
this land was made, however, the Kansas legislature, in Feb- 
ruary, 1895, passed a resolution requesting the Congress of the 
United States to donate the entire reservation of 7200 acres 
to the State of Kansas for the purposes of agricultural educa- 
tion and research, for the training of teachers, and for the 
establishment of a public park. Bills giving effect to this re- 
quest were introduced into Congress without avail, until the 
fifty-sixth Congress, when, through the influence of Senator? 
later Regent, W. A. Harris, and of Congressman Reeder, a bill 
was passed, setting aside this reservation "for the purposes of 
establishing an experimental station of the Kansas Agricul- 
tural College and a western branch of the Kansas State Nor- 
mal School thereon and a public park." This bill was approved 
by the President on March 28, 1900. By act of the State legis- 
lature, approved on February 7, 1901, the act of Congress 
donating this land and imposing the burden of the support of 
these institutions was accepted. The same session of the legis- 
lature passed an act providing for the organization of a branch 
experiment station and appropriating a small fund for pre- 
liminary work. 

The land at the Fort Hays Branch Station consists mainly 
of high rolling prairie, with a limited area of rich alluvium 
bordering on a creek, and is situated on the edge of the semi- 
arid plain region. It is well suited for experimental and 
demonstration work in dry farming, in irrigation, and in crop, 
forestry, and orchard tests, under conditions of limited rainfall 
and high evaporation. 

The work of this Station is confined to the study of the 
problems peculiar to the western half of the State, and relates 
especially to crop production under limited rainfall, to the 
origination of varieties better adapted to the climatic condi- 
tions there prevailing, and to studies of the systems of animal 
husbandry suited to this region. A systematic study of the 
value of trees as preventives of soil drifting is being made on 
a scale sufficiently large to bring definite conclusions. The 
facilities of this Station are being used for the growing of 
large quantities of pure seed of the strains and varieties which 
have proved in actual test to be most productive in the west- 
ern part of the State. 



Branch Experiment Stations 59 

This Station is supported entirely by State funds and by 
the sale of farm products. Under the terms of the acts of 
Congress establishing and supporting agricultural experiment 
stations, and under the rulings of the United States Depart^ 
ment of Agriculture, none of the funds appropriated by the 
federal government may be used for the support of branch 
experiment stations. 

The State appropriation for the maintenance of the Fort 
Hays Branch Experiment Station is $25,000 for 1914 and 
$30,000 for 1915. 

Garden City Branch Station 

In 1906 the county commissioners of Finney county pur- 
chased, for purposes of agricultural experimentation, a tract of 
land amounting to 320 acres, situated four and one-half miles 
from Garden City, op. the unirrigated upland. 

This land has been leased for a term of ninety-nine years 
to the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station as an "ex- 
perimental and demonstration farm," for the purpose of de- 
termining the methods of culture, crop varieties, and crop 
rotations best suited to the southwestern portion of the State, 
under dry-land farming conditions. A pumping plant irri- 
gating from eighty to one hundred acres has been installed for 
the purpose of investigating the expense of pumping and the 
cost of equipment necessary for plants of this type which are 
common in the shallow-water district between Garden City 
and Scott City and along the Arkansas valley. The "duty of 
water" and the methods of applying water are objects of in- 
vestigation. For improvements and maintenance of this 
Station the sum of $5500 a year was appropriated for 1914 
and 1915. 

Other Branch Stations 

Branch stations are maintained at Dodge City and Tribune, 
and at these stations experimental and demonstration work 
is conducted for the benefit of the districts surrounding these 
points. Cropping systems, summer-fallow methods, time of 
planting, variety testing, and breeding of special crops are 
the principal work undertaken. At Dodge City a dairy herd 
is maintained. 

The legislature of .1913 appropriated for the maintenance 
of the Dodge City Station $4500 for the year 1913-'14, and 
$4500 for the year 1914~'15, and for the Tribune Station $3000 
for 1913-'14, and $3000 for 1914-'15. The legislature of 1913 
also appropriated $6000 for the establishment of a Branch 
Station in Kearny county, with $2000 maintenance for 
1913-'14, and $2000 for 1914- , 15. It also appropriated $11,000 
for the establishment of a Branch Station in Thomas county, 
with $2000 additional for maintenance for 1913-'14, and $2000 
for 1914-'15. 



60 Kansas State Agricultural College 



Engineering Experiment Station 

The Engineering Experiment Station was established by 
the Board of Regents for the purpose of carrying on a con- 
tinued series of tests of engineering and manufacturing value 
to the State of Kansas, on a scale sufficiently large for the 
results to be of direct commercial value. 

For the past four years tests of cement and concrete have 
been conducted, using principally Kansas-made cements and 
such materials for the aggregate in the concrete as can be 
found in different localities in the State. In connection with 
this series of tests, a study is being made of the waterproofing 
and coloring of cement building blocks. 

Tests of Kansas coals are now in progress. The coals are 
being tested by hand firing, and by firing by means of three 
different types of mechanical stokers. The coals being tested 
include mine-run, slack, nut, screened, lump, and washed-pea 
coals. The purpose is not only to determine the relative values 
of the different coals for steam generation, but more particu- 
larly to ascertain the best methods of firing the coals of each 
locality, and the relative values of the different kinds of coal 
obtained from any single mine. These. tests are conducted 
with both natural and induced draft, the Station owning an 
induced-draft equipment and economizer. 

The Station owns a 100-horsepower gas producer using 
bituminous coal. So far, the gas from this producer has been 
used only for laboratory and cooking purposes, and the tests 
that have been carried on have been for the purpose of de- 
termining the relative values of the various coals as regards 
(1) cost per cubic foot of gas; (2) adaptability with respect 
to mechanical manipulation in the producer; (3) freedom from 
sulphur and disagreeable gases; (4) the production of tar and 
other by-products. 

The tests will be extended to include an investigation of the 
possibilities of lighting with gas. Subsequently, by means of 
internal-combustion engines, the efficiency of such an installa- 
tion for power production, the purpose for which the producer 
was designed, will be determined by experiment. 

The producer testing equipment includes calorimeters for 
the analysis of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, a Venturi tube 
for the measurement of gas, a thermo-electric pyrometer, and 
such other apparatus as is essential for the carrying out of 
complete tests. Each test is conducted for a period of several 
weeks, in order to eliminate errors in the estimation of the coal 
and "stand-by" losses. 

As there are but very few other plants in the country sat- 
isfactorily using bituminous coal for producer gas, it is be- 
lieved that the experiments now being carried on will give 
valuable results. 



Engineering Experiment Station 61 

For some time, in cooperation with the Office of Public 
Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture, the 
College has been carrying on traction tests to determine the 
effective width of tire on different road surfaces. The equip- 
ment for this purpose includes a recording traction dynamom- 
eter designed by the College and built by the Office of Public 
Roads. The first two series of these tests are ready for publi- 
cation, and will be issued by the Office of Public Roads. It is 
the intention to conduct further experiment^ of this nature for 
an indefinite period. 

Two years ago there was completed a series of pipe-covering 
tests, the purpose of which was to determine the relative val- 
ues of different pipe coverings for high- and low-pressure 
steam, both as compared with one another and as compared 
with bare pipe. These tests are made when the pipe is first 
covered, and are repeated after the covering has been sub- 
jected to hard usage. 

Other experiments now in progress are concerned with: 
(1) lubricants and bearings; (2) power required for driving 
machine tools; (3) loss of power in transmission by shaft, 
bearings, chains, and gears; (4) the relative adaptability, 
efficiency, and cost of gasoline, kerosene, and denatured al- 
cohol for internal-combustion engines; (5) the cost of com- 
pressing air and the efficiency of compressed air for power 
purposes; (6) endurance of paints. As applied to roofs, the 
paint tests have been in progress for five years, and they will 
be extended to include other cases of exposure to weather. 
The investigation is directed especially to the relation of the 
chemical nature of the pigments and of the oils employed in 
painting to the durability of the paints. 

Among the projected investigations are: (1) underground 
water flow in various parts of the State, and methods of de- 
veloping it for irrigation; (2) the possibilities of developing 
water-power for small plants to be used on farms and in iso- 
lated communities for driving machinery, either directly or 
by electric transmission, and for lighting, this investigation to 
include the preparation and publication of plans for these 
plants; (3) the continuation of investigations as to the 
strength of structural details in timber, metal, and reinforced 
concrete; (4) studies of the tractive effect or efficiency of 
draught of horses; (5) tests of small gasoline-electric units; 
(6) methods of cooling condensed steam; (7) tests of Kansas 
brick and other road material. 

As soon as a series of tests is completed, the results are 
published in bulletin form, and may be had on application to 
the director. Besides the results of investigations, compila- 
tions of engineering data and important principles are made 
from various sources and are published in bulletins for the 
assistance of engineers, mechanics, and others in their respec- 
tive lines of work.

Grounds, Buildings, and Equipment 

The college campus occupies a commanding and attractive 
site upon an elevation adjoining the western limits of the city 
of Manhattan, with electric car service into town and to the 
railway stations. The grounds are tastefully laid out accord- 
ing to the designs of a landscape architect, and are extensively 
planted with a great variety of beautiful and interesting trees, 
arranged in picturesque groups, masses, and border plantings, 
varied by banks of shrubbery and interspersed with extensive 
lawns, gardens, and experimental fields. Broad, well^shaded 
macadamized avenues lead to all parts of the grounds. Ce- 
ment walks connect all of the buildings with one another and 
with the entrances. Including the campus of 160 acres, the 
College owns 748 acres of land at Manhattan, valued at 
$185,000, and rents 390 acres in addition. Outside the campus 
proper, all of the land is devoted to educational and experi- 
mental work in agriculture. Within the college grounds, most 
of the space not occupied by buildings and needed for drives 
and ornamental planting is devoted to orchards, forest and 
fruit nurseries, vineyards, and gardens. A number of fields 
in the northern and western portions of the campus are used 
for general experimental work by various departments. 

The college buildings, twenty-one in number, are harmoni- 
ously grouped, and are uniformly constructed of limestone 
obtained from the college quarries. A central power plant 
furnishes steam heat and electric light and power to the 
buildings, and a plant for the manufacture of producer gas 
supplies some of the laboratories and shops. The College owns 
and operates its own system of waterworks and is provided 
with a complete sewerage system. 

Agricultural Hall (New). Cost of portions now com- 
pleted, $125,000; cost of building when developed and com-

Library 

The general College Library consists of all books belonging 
to the College, including the library of the Experiment Sta- 
tion, which is incorporated with it. On March 20, 1913, the 
Library contained 41,133 bound volumes, besides much un- 
bound material. It receives currently about four hundred 
serial publications. As a depository the Library receives the 
documents and other publications of the United States gov- 
ernment. The books are classified according to the Dewey 
system and are indexed in a dictionary card catalogue. 

All students, as well as all officers of administration and in- 
struction, have the privilege of direct access to the book stacks. 
The Library is primarily for free reference use, but the privi- 
lege of drawing books is accorded to all those connected with 
the College as registered students or as members of the Fac- 



Library ($7 

ulty. Books not specially reserved may be drawn for home 
use for two weeks. All books are subject to recall at any time. 

General reference books, books reserved for classes, general 
periodicals, and certain other groups of books are to be con- 
sulted only in the reading rooms. They may not be loaned 
from the Library except when the reading rooms are closed. 
They must then be returned to the Library by the time it next 
reopens. Any violation of the regulations of the Library 
subjects the offender to a fine, or to a withdrawal of Library 
privileges, or to both, according to the gravity of the offense. 
More serious offenses, such as mutilation or theft of books or 
periodicals, are considered just causes for suspension or expul- 
sion of the offender, who is also required to make good the loss 
incurred. 

Reading Rooms. — Three reading rooms are maintained in 
connection with the Library : the general reference room, con- 
taining encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases, bibliographies, and 
general reference books; the special reference room, contain- 
ing books reserved for classes ; and the newspaper room, con- 
taining the important daily and weekly Kansas newspapers. 
These rooms are freely open to the students and to the public 
for purposes of reading and study. 

Divisional Libraries. — Divisional and departmental collec- 
tions are deposited in certain College buildings apart from the 
main Library. These collections are for the special conven- 
ience of the instructors and students of the departments con- 
cerned. They are under the direction of the Librarian and 
are accessible to all students at regular hours. 

Hours of Opening. — The Library is open daily, except on 
legal holidays, from 7 :30 o'clock A. M. to 5 :30 o'clock P. M. 
during the regular College year. During vacation periods it 
is open daily from 8 o'clock A. M. to 5 o'clock P. M.

Requirements for Admission 



The entrance requirements to the College are made broad 
and flexible, only fundamental subjects being definitely re- 
quired. These requirements are made upon the supposition 
that high schools are local institutions in which the courses 
should be adapted to the needs of the individual localities, and 
that college entrance requirements should be such as to take 
the output of the high schools, rather than to determine the 
nature of the work offered in them. 

Persons, to be admitted to any department of the College,, 
must be at least fourteen years of age. Fifteen units of high- 
school work are required for admission to the freshman class. 
A unit is defined to be the work done in an accredited high 
school or academy in five recitation periods a week for one school 
year. Students will be admitted to the freshman class who 
offer thirteen or more units of acceptable high-school work, 
but will be conditioned in enough subjects to bring the total 
. to fifteen units. Such conditions must be made up by the 
opening of the following College year ; if not made up by that 
time, College work is to be taken in their place. 

The following table shows the subjects that will be accepted 
for admission, the number of units of each that are required, 
and the number that will be accepted provided the fixed re- 
quirements are met : 

Required A ccep ted 

English 3 4

* One and one-half units of geometry, in addition to one and one-half units of algebra, 
are required for admission to a course in engineering-, to the course in architecture, or to 
the course in general science, 

DEFICIENCIES 

The courses in the School of Agriculture offered in connec- 
tion with the College give every needed opportunity for stu- 
dents of the College to- make up anything lacking in their prep- 
aration for entrance. All such entrance deficiencies must be 
made up before the beginning of the sophomore year. No 
student is registered in the senior class unless all deficiencies 
of the preceding years have been provided for. Candidates for 
graduation must make up all deficient subjects before the be- 
ginning of the spring term of the senior year. No student is 
considered a candidate for graduation the next June who is de- 
ficient more than three full subjects in addition to his regular 
assignment at the beginning of the fall term. No student who 
fails or is conditioned or found deficient in any subject, or 
whose grade in more than one subject falls below G in any 
term, is allowed to carry extra work during the succeeding 
term. 

ADVANCED CREDIT 

At the discretion of the President, students who present cer- 
tificates showing credits for college work done in other in- 
stitutions are allowed hour-for-hour credit on courses in this 
College in so far as they may be directly applied, or can be 



70 Kansas State Agricultural College 

accepted as substitutions or electives. In cases in which it is 
impossible for one to furnish an acceptable certificate con- 
cerning work upon which advanced credit is asked, examina- 
tions are given, if the subject has been studied under competent 
instruction. 

ADMISSION 

Admission by Examination. Examinations for admission 
will be held at the College on Tuesday, September 16, 1913 ; 
Monday, January 5, 1914, for the winter term ; and Monday, 
March 30, 1914, for the spring term. 

Admission by Certificate. The applicant is required to 
submit to the committee on admission by diploma a certificate 
of the high-school or academy credit properly certified to by 
the authorities of the institution in which the work was done. 
Blanks will be furnished by the College for this purpose. It is 
requested that all work done in such high school or academy 
be presented upon these blanks, in order to expedite the grant- 
ing of credit to such applicants as are entitled to it. 

SPECIAL STUDENTS 

In recognition of the fact that experience and maturity tend 
to compensate, in a measure at least, for lack of scholastic at- 
tainments, the College admits as special students those who 
are twenty-one years of age or older, without requiring them 
to pass the regular examinations, provided (1) they show 
good reason for not taking a regular course; (2) they be 
assigned only to such work as they are qualified to carry suc- 
cessfully; (3) they do superior work in the subjects assigned. 

A special student is assigned by the dean of the. division in 
which occur the major subjects to be pursued. 



Kansas State Agricultural College 71 



Requirements for Graduation 

For graduation, one must complete one of the four-yea? 
courses as shown elsewhere. These are believed to provide 
for the necessities of most students who seek an institution 6f 
this kind, and departures from the specified work are not en- 
couraged. Under special conditions, however, such College^ 
substitutions are allowed as the interests of the student ■•de-~ 
mand. The total requirement, including military drill or phygi^ 
cal training, is about 220 term hours, or credits, the credit 
unit being one hour of recitation or lecture work, or two hours 
of laboratory work, a week, for one term of twelve weeks. 
As the allowance for laboratory work is liberal, and much of 
this is included in all courses, the total requirement named is 
not regarded as excessive. 

DEGKEES 

The degree of bachelor of science (B. S.) is conferred upon 
those completing the four-year course in agriculture, mechani- 
cal engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, archi- 
tecture, industrial journalism, home economics, or general 
science. 

The degree of doctor of veterinary medicine (D. V. M.) is 
conferred upon those completing the four-year course in vet- 
erinary medicine. 

The degree of bachelor of agriculture is conferred upon stu- 
dents who have completed the freshman and sophomore work 
of the four-year course in agriculture, who have been con- 
spicuously successful in farming for a period of five years 
under the supervision of the Faculty of the College, and who 
have furnished the Faculty, through the Dean of the Division 
of Agriculture, acceptable reports of their work and progress, 

CERTIFICATES 

A certificate in agriculture is granted students completing 
the first two years of the four-year course in agriculture.* 

A certificate is granted to those completing either of the 
two-year short courses in agriculture. 

A certificate is granted to those completing the six-month 
housekeeper's course. 

* Under certain conditions and restrictions, students of mature years who can not 
spend four years in college, and who may be applicants for the degree of bachelor of agri- 
culture or for the certificate in agriculture, may, on the completion of all of the work 
required in the freshman year, have the privilege of selecting such courses in advance of 
the sophomore year, under the advice and with the approval of the Dean of the Division 
of Agriculture, as may be especially adapted to their needs ; but in no case can courses 
based on prerequisites not yet completed be undertaken. 



72 Kansas State Agricultural College 

ADVANCED DEGREES 

The degree of master of science is conferred upon graduates 
of this College and of other institutions after all the require- 
ments incident to the bestowal of the degree have been com- 
plied with. 

For graduates of this institution up to, and including, the 
class of 1916, the work for the degree of master of science 
consists of ninety-six credit units. The work of applicants 
who are graduates of other institutions is evaluated by a 
committee consisting of the chairman of the committee on 
advanced credit and of the dean of the division and the head 
of the department in which the major is to be taken, and the 
student is given proper standing. 

Forty-eight of the required ninety-six credit units are des- 
ignated as supplementary minors, and are to be derived from 
studies that are intended to strengthen the student's general 
preparation ; the remaining forty-eight are taken from studies 
of a special nature. Of the forty-eight credit units derived 
from special training, thirty-two are given to the major sub- 
ject and sixteen to the minors. The nature and distribution 
of the major and minors are determined in each individual 
case by a committee, consisting of the dean of the division and 
the head of the department in which the major is taken. 

Credit units due an honor student are applied on supple- 
mentary minors. In case a student nearing graduation has 
time, he may be permitted, by arrangement with the dean of 
the division and the head of the department in which he ex- 
pects to do the major work, to spend his extra time on studies 
which will count toward the degree of master of science. 

A thesis consisting of a clear statement of the investigation 
of some worthy original problem is required. The candidate 
is subjected to a rigid oral examination, covering both the 
general and special fields of his preparation, including his 
thesis, by a committee consisting of the dean of the division, 
the heads of the departments in which his major and regular 
minors have been taken, and the chairman of the standing 
committee on graduate study. 

The full responsibility for the successful conduct of the 
graduate work is lodged in a representative standing commit- 
tee of the Faculty, consisting of five members selected by the 
President, and this committee has the right to pass on all

General Information 



DUTIES AND PRIVILEGES 

Good conduct in general, such as becomes men and women 
everywhere, is expected of all students. Every possible aid 
and stimulus toward the development of sound and rational 
character, and toward the formation of high standards of 
personal honor and ideals of conduct, is given by the various 
Christian organizations of the College and the town. Every 
student is accordingly expected to render a good account of 
himself in the College community life. For those who are 
high-minded and reasonable, no other requirements need be 
expected. On the other hand, the demands of the College life 
leave no room for the idle or self-indulgent, for those who are 
too reckless to accept reasonable or wholesome restraint, or 
for those who are too careless or indifferent to take proper 
advantage of their opportunities. The College discipline is 
confined chiefly to sending away those whose conduct, after 
fair trial, makes their further attendance at the College un- 
profitable or inadvisable. 

Absences from class or laboratory periods must be accounted 
for to the instructor concerned. Permission for absence from 
College for one or more days must be secured in advance f ram 
the dean of the division in which the student is registered^ 
Students can not h6norably leave the College before the closer 
of a term except by previous arrangement with the deans con- 
cerned. 

Opportunities for general scientific, literary, and forensic^ 
training are afforded, in addition to the College courses, by 
various literary and scientific societies and clubs. The Science* 
Club, meeting semi-monthly, admits to membership all instruc- 
tors and students interested in science. The College branch of 
the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Agricul- 
tural Association, and the Architectural Club admit to their 
membership young men interested in the fields indicated by 
their names. Of the strictly literary and debating clubs, the 
Alpha Beta and the Franklin are open to both sexes ; the 
Ionian, the Eurodelphian, and the Browning are women's 
societies ; the Webster, the Hamilton, and the Athenian admit 
only young men to membership. 

At various times during the year, the College halls are 
opened for social, literary, musical, and dramatic entertain- 
ments furnished by lecture courses, by the literary societies, 
by the Department of Music, by the Dramatic Club, by the 



74 Kansas State Agricultural College 

Oratorical Association, and by other organizations of students 
and instructors. Addresses by prominent speakers, men of 
affairs, and persons prominent in scientific, educational, and 
social work are of frequent occurrence. 

EXPENSES 

Tuition is free. An incidental fee of three dollars a term is 
charged all students resident in Kansas. For nonresidents, a 
matriculation, or entrance, fee of ten dollars, and an incidental 
fee of ten dollars a term, are charged. A medical fee of fifty 
cents a term is also collected from each student, in return for 
which he receives medical treatment in case of sickness. Re- 
ceipts for these fees must be presented before enrollment in 
the College classes. No other fees are charged. In all labora- 
tories students are required to pay for apparatus and supplies 
broken or lost. The student is at no expense for musical in- 
struction, or for the College diploma. Rooms and board are 
not furnished by the College. Table board in private families 
and at boarding houses varies from $3.25 to $4.50 a week, the 
average being about $3.75. Rooms are obtainable at from $5 
to $10 a month when occupied by one person, $8 to $12 when 
occupied by two. The highest-priced accommodations include 
light, heat, and bath. 

The College Young Men's Christian Association offers ac- 
commodations in its building to a limited number of students, 
at prices from $10 to $13 a month for rooms with modern con- 
veniences, and $3.25 a week for table board. As the number 
of rooms in the building is limited, applications should be made 
to the secretary of the association a year in advance. Board 
can usually be obtained at any time. 

Some students board themselves at less cost than the prices 
charged for table board, and unfurnished rooms may some- 
times be obtained very cheaply. Washing costs from 50 to 75 
•cents a dozen pieces. Books cost on the average about $5 a 
term. 

Each young man who takes military drill is required to have 
a military uniform, costing about $15, and each young woman 
who takes physical training must have a physical-training suit, 
^costing about $4. Ordinary expenditures, aside from clothing 
sand traveling expenses, range from $175 to $300 a year. 

SELF-SUPPORT 

'The courses of instruction are based upon the supposition 
that the student is here for study, and therefore a proper grasp 
of the subjects can not be obtained by the average student 
unless the greater part of his time is given to College work. 
Students of limited means are encouraged and aided in every 
possible way, but unless exceptionally strong, both mentally 
and physically, such students are advised to take lighter work 



General Information 75 

by extending their courses, in case they are obliged to give any 
considerable time to self-support. As a rule, a student should 
be prepared with means for at least a term, as some time is 
required in which to make acquaintances and to learn where 
suitable work may be obtained. 

There are various lines in which students may find employ- 
ment. The College itself employs labor to the extent of about 
$1200 per month, at rates varying from 15 to 20 cents an 
hour, according to the nature of the employment &nd the 
experience of the employee. Most of this labor is upon the 
College farm, in the orchards and gardens, in the shops and 
the printing-office, for the janitor, etc. Various departments 
utilize student help to a considerable extent during the vaca- 
tions. Students demonstrating exceptional efficiency, ability, 
and trustworthiness obtain limited employment in special 
duties about the College. Many students secure employment 
in various lines in the town, and some opportunity exists for 
obtaining board in exchange for work, with families either in 
town or in the neighboring country. Labor is universally re- 
spected in the College community, and the student who remains 
under the necessity of earning his way will find himself abso- 
lutely unhampered by discouraging social conditions. False 
standards regarding physical work do not exist, and are not 
tolerated by the board of instruction or by the student body as* 
a whole. Absolutely democratic standards prevail at the Col- 
lege, and students are judged on the basis of their personal 
worth and efficiency alone. 

Students are assisted to obtain employment by means of the* 
employment bureaus maintained by the Young Men's Christian 
Association and by the Young Women's Christian Association; 
of the College, with secretaries of which organizations corre- 
spondence is encouraged. New students are also met at the 
trains by committees from these two bodies, and are assisted 
in the finding of rooms, and in various other helpful ways. 

BUSINESS DIRECTIONS 

General information concerning the College may be obtained 
from the President or the Secretary. Financial matters are 
handled through the office of the Financial Secretary. 

Scientific and practical questions, and requests for special 
advice along lines in which the College and the Experiment 
Stations are prepared to give information, should be addressed 
to the heads of the departments concerned with the work in 
which the information is sought. 

Applications for farmers' institutes should be made as early 
in the season as possible to the Division of College Extension. 
Applications for the publications of the Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station should be addressed to: Director of the Agri-* 
cultural Experiment Station. 



76 Kansas State Agricultural College 

Donations to the Library should be addressed to the Libra- 
rian, and donations to the Museum to the Curator of the 
Museum. 

STUDENT ASSEMBLY 

The Student Assembly is held from ten until ten-thirty 
o'clock on f©ur mornings of each week. At this time, offices, 
class rooms, and laboratories are closed and the students gather 
en masse in the College Auditorium. These assembly exercises 
consist of devotional services, music, and addresses. The 
devotional exercises are conducted by members of the Faculty, 
by resident ministers of the various denominations, or by 
prominent visitors. Excellent music is provided by the Col- 
lege Orchestra, by members of the Department of Music, and 
by available outside talent. In addition to the short, pointed 
addresses delivered by the President and by members of the 
Faculty, many prominent leaders of state and national reputa- 
tion are invited to address the assembly. Thus the Student As- 
sembly has become a center of true culture and enlightenment. 
Although attendance is not compulsory, it is common to see 
nearly two thousand enthusiastic students present during these 
exercises. 

COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS 

The official organ of the College is The Kansas Industrialist, 
published weekly by the Department of Industrial Journalism, 
and printed at the College by the Department of Printing. Its 
pages are filled with articles of interest, with special reference 
to agriculture and the industries. Particular attention is paid 
to information concerning the work of the College, to investi- 
gations of the Experiment Stations, and to local and alumni 
news. The Kansas Industrialist will be sent to any citizen of 
the State for fifty cents a year, and to any non-resident for 
,seventy-five cents a year. The alumni may have The Kansas 
^Industrialist free upon application. 

The Department of College Extension issues a monthly pub- 
lication entitled Agricultural Education, of special interest to 
-institute members. The students of the College publish a semi- 
weekly periodical, The Kansas Aggie, formerly "The Students' 
■Herald," in the interest of the students at large. This paper is 
>edited and managed by a staif elected by students. A College 
t&nnual, Royal Purple, is published each year by the senior 
class. 

EXAMINATIONS 

Examinations are held at the last regular recitation periods 
of the respective studies at the end of each term. Whether the 
examination is to extend over the last two periods or over one 
only is left to the decision of the individual instructor. Ex- 
aminations to remove conditions are held on the next to the 



Examinations 77 

last Saturday of each term. A student who has received the 
grade C is entitled to take such special examination, provided 
the instructor be notified of the student's desire to take the 
examination not later than the Tuesday evening preceding the 
Saturday set for the examinations. A grade of P, only, is to 
be reported for a student who passes the examination to re- 
move a condition. A grade of F is to be reported for one who 
fails to pass. If a subject in which a student is conditioned is 
not passed at the first opportunity, the grade is changed from 
C to F. The instructor will report as incomplete (I) any stu- 
dent whose work, while satisfactory in quality, is lacking in 
the quantity required. The grade I in such cases is removed 
when the student completes the required quantity of work in a 
satisfactory manner. With the consent of the head of the de- 
partment, incomplete work may be made up outside of class, 
but if it is not made up by the last Saturday of the first term 
during which the student is in attendance following the term in 
which the deficiency occurred, the student's grade is changed 
from I to F, and he is required to make up the work by repeat- 
ing it in a regular class. Incomplete work made up is to be re- 
ported as P. 

Permission for examination in subjects not taken in class 
must be obtained, on recommendation of the professor in 
charge, from the dean of the division in which the student is 
assigned, at least two months before the examination is held. 
Permission to take such examination is not granted unless the 
preparation for it is made under an approved tutor. All such 
examinations are under the immediate supervision of the pro- 
fessor in whose department the subject falls. 

GRADES 

Students' grades are based upon the completed work of a 
term, and are designated by letters having the following sig- 
nification and rank : 

E, excellent; G, good; P, passed; C, conditioned; I, incomplete (applied 
to all work which is satisfactory as to quality, but not as to quantity) ; P, 
failed. 

Any student who receives a grade of E for the term, in 
any subject, and who is charged with not to exceed six absences 
for all causes from the class in such subject during the term, 
may be excused from the final examination in that subject, at 
the discretion of the instructor; provided, however, that in- 
structors are to announce such exemption lists in their re- 
spective subjects not earlier than the last session of the class 
preceding the final examinations. 

Examinations to remove conditions are reported simply as 
P (passed) or F (failed), and such examinations not taken, 
or taken and not passed, are recorded F (failed) . 



78 Kansas State Agricultural College 

HONORS 

In each of the divisions of the College, "junior honors" are 
awarded at Commencement to not more than five per cent of 
the junior class having the highest standing for the College 
year. 

In a similar manner "senior honors" are awarded to not ex- 
ceeding five per cent of the senior class having the highest 
standing for the College year. 

Any student achieving senior honors receives two credit 
units toward the master's degree; a student achieving both 
junior and senior honors receives six credit units toward the 
master's degree. 

The following is the system of awarding honor points : The 
grades received by the student carry plus and minus "points" 
as follows : 

Grade E (excellent) carries + 2 points. 

Grade G (good) carries + 1 point. 

Grade P (passed) carries point. 

Grade C (conditioned) carries — 1 point. 

Grade F (failed) carries — 2 points. 

When grade C (conditioned) is subsequently changed by 
the examination to remove a condition to grade P (passed) or 
grade F (failed) the points are changed accordingly. 

In the estimation of honor points, the number of points at- 
tached to any given grade is "multiplied by the number of hours 
a week required in the subject. In the case of a subject con- 
sisting wholly or in part of shop practice or laboratory work, 
one-half the number of hours required in such shop practice or 
laboratory work is taken in computing the multiplying factor. 

The award of honors is to those achieving the highest alge- 
braic sum of honor points, according to the foregoing schedule, 
and under the limitations provided above. 

CLASSES 

The minimum numbers for which classes are organized are 
as follows : 

School of Agriculture 18 

Freshmen or Sophomores 12 

Juniors or Seniors 7 

This rule is varied only by special permission of the Board 
of Administration. 



Kansas State Agricultural College 79 



School of Agriculture 



The School of Agriculture is organized to meet the needs of 
young men and young women of Kansas who may need in- 
struction more closely identified with the life of the farm, 
home and shop than that provided by the high schools of the 
State. It is also intended to meet the needs of those men and 
women who find themselves for any cause unable to complete 
an extensive course of collegiate instruction, yet who feel the 
necessity of a practical training for their activities in life. 
More than one-half of the student's time in the school will be 
spent in the laboratories and in contact with the real objects 
of his future work. An element of culture and general infor- 
mation is provided for in three years of English for each 
course, and in work in history, economics, citizenship, physics, 
and chemistry. 

The School of Agriculture is not a school preparatory to 
the College. Its sole purpose is to fit men and women for life 
in the open country, and to make country life more attractive ; 
to make the workshop more efficient; in short, to dignify and 
to improve industrial life. It is not established to entice 
students away from the high school. It is for those of every 
walk in life who wish a larger view and greater skill in doing 
the world's work. 

All the resources of the College are at the disposal of the 
School of Agriculture. Its students have every advantage 
possessed by students in the College. 

THE COURSE OF STUDY 

The course in agriculture emphasizes the growing of crops 
and the raising of live stock. A minimum of theory and a 
maximum of practical work will bring the student into close 
contact with the actual conditions of farm life. 

The course in domestic science emphasizes the care of the 
home. Home decoration, home sanitation, cookery and sewing 
receive careful attention. 

The course in mechanic arts leads to a trade. It is designed 
to shorten the time of apprenticeship and to prepare the way 
for skilled workmanship in shop or factory. The great amount 
of time spent in the shops should easily lead to skill and 
efficiency in subsequent work. 



80 Kansas State Agricultural College 

ADMISSION 

Students who are fourteen years of age or older and who 
have completed the eighth grade of the public schools are 
. admitted without examination. Students who have not com- 
pleted the eighth grade are examined in arithmetic, United 
States history, English grammar, geography, reading, and 
spelling. Students who have done work in the public high 
schools receive credit for the work done. Maturity in years 
and practical experience are given due consideration, but stu- 
dents should not consider these qualifications alone sufficient 
to admit them. Wherever there is question about a student's 
qualifications for entering, he should correspond with %he 
Principal of the School of Agriculture before coming. 

TIME OF OPENING 

All candidates for admission to the School of Agriculture 
should present themselves for registration at the College Sep- 
tember 15 to 18, inclusive. The Principal of the School of 
Agriculture is charged with the execution of all College and 
Faculty rules relating to the enrollment of students in classes 
and their choice of studies. 

Upon registration each student receives a certificate of his 
standing, which he presents to the Principal of the school, who 
is charged with the duty of enrolling students in classes, 
selecting and arranging subjects, and assigning hours. 

GRADES AND FAILURES 

Examinations are held at stated periods and at such other 
times as the Faculty may provide. Absence from examina- 
tion, or ten or more unexcused absences from class periods, 
sever a student's connection with the institution, which con- 
nection can be renewed only through the action of the Prin- 
cipal of the school. Any withdrawal from school or class 
must be authorized by the Principal; otherwise, continued 
absence is construed as failure. Parents or guardians are 
furnished a copy of the record of the student's work at the 
close of any term if they so desire.

Agricultural Courses 

AGRONOMY 

1. — Grain Crops. First year, spring term. Class work, three hours; 
laboratory, two hours. Four credits. 

This course consists of a study of grain-crop production. The factors 
that affect the yield of grain crops are given the greatest consideration. 
These factors include crop adaptation, methods of planting, methods of 
cultivating, and methods of harvesting. In order that such study may be 
of the greatest value, the structure of the plants and methods of improve- 
ment are considered. The greatest emphasis is placed upon the economic 
production of the crops. Eight grain crops are included in the study, 
being given consideration in accordance with their importance in the State. 

2. — Farm Machinery. First year, spring term. Class work, one 
hour; laboratory, four hours. Three credits. 

In this course the student is taught in the class room the mechanical 
principles of the different types of farm machinery, and in the laboratory 
and the field is taught to adjust and operate the machines properly. . In- 
struction is also given in fence construction, rope splicing, and cement 
work. 

3. — Forage Crops. Third year, fall term. Class work, two hours ; 
laboratory, two hours. Three credits. 

This course takes up the culture, adaptation, distribution and uses of 
crops for pasture, hay, roughage, silage, soiling; cover crops; green 
manure crops. The use of these crops for the maintenance of soil fertil- 
ity, together with their importance in systems of cropping and rotation, 
is given special emphasis. The seed production of grasses, legumes, 
annuals and forage crops is also studied. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work of this course is planned to give the 
student training in the identification of seeds and plants studied in the

sterilization and of pasteurization; the handling of infectious material, 
•etc., are the subjects taken up in the laboratory work. 

BIOLOGY 

1. — General Biology I. First year, fall term. Class work, two hours; 
laboratory, four hours. Four credits. 

In this course the student enters first upon a study of the differences 
hetween living and nonliving matter, and of cells as the units of life. 
The first few exercises following deal with the properties of the chief 
important elements that form the environment and determine the ex- 
istence of all living beings — carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen — and 
with the universal need of water for the life of protoplasm. Next fol- 
lows a study of the chief forces that determine the existence of life — 
heat and light rays — and especially the limits of life as determined by the 
solar heat; why light is necessary, and the effect upon life of electrical 
waves. Next follows a study of growth in plant and animal life, and of 
the building up of cells into tissues, organs, and bodies, in plants and 
animals. To this end, the growth of embryo plants and animals is studied. 
Sporelings and seedlings of plants and their germination, and the growth 
of embryo animals — chick, frog, various insects, etc. — form a part of this 
study. What growth means, the increase of size and weight as a conse- 



88 Kansas State Agricultural College 

quence, and the development of form, are considered. It is made clear 
how growth is possible only at the expense of food. Textbook to be 
selected. 

Laboratory. — The course begins with a study of protoplasm in Amoeba, 
in the stamen hairs of Tradescantia, and in Nitella. The external evi- 
dences of life are then considered. Movement, and the responses of 
various plants and animals to light, moisture and gravity are utilized 
to illustrate life phenomena. 

The structure of cells is studied. The division of cells is demonstrated 
by means of charts and the projection of slides. The growth of cells and 
of crystals is studied comparatively, to illustrate the difference between 
living and nonliving matter. A study follows of the nonliving environ- 
ment, including the chief properties of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and 
carbon dioxide. The effects of heat and light upon protoplasm are then 
considered, including the effects of different temperatures — freezing, boil- 
ing, etc. — upon the spores of molds and ferns, upon growing cultures of 
algae, molds and bacteria, and upon the pollen grains and seeds of higher 
plants, together with the effects of extreme temperatures upon highly 
organized growing plants. The influence of light and of its absence upon 
cultures of molds and bacteria, and upon green growing plants, is de- 
termined, and the course closes with a study of the result of withholding 
water from animals and plants, and with some study of the characteristics 
of animals and plants that resist drying.

organisms, and with a study of the ways in which the simplest animals 
and plants feed. Then follows a study of chlorophyll, the role of the 
green plants, and the dependence of all animal life upon plant life. 
Special ways of obtaining food by plants and animals are then considered, 
involving a study of parasitic fungi, the world of bacteria or "germ" life, 
and their relation to higher animals and plants, and the behavior of 
dodder and other parasites among the higher plants. Parasitic worms and 
other animal parasites, and their effect on animal life, illustrate the 
animal side of parasitism. The meaning of most diseases in animals and 
plants is considered in the light of parasitism. In this course, also, respi- 
ration in animals and plants is studied. A study of the machinery of 
respiration in plants and animals, the breathing of water plants and water 
animals, the respiration of animals and plants in their resting stages, as 
in the pupae of insects and in the seeds of plants, closes the work of the 
term. Textbook to be selected. 

Laboratory. — The course opens with an elementary laboratory study 
of the simple tests for starch, sugars, fats, and proteids. The feeding 
habits o£ a selected series of animal and plant forms are studied. Ex- 
periments are conducted to show the way in which green plants make 
carbohydrates. The life habits of dodder and other parasitic plants are 
studied. Among animals some time is given to the study of the life habits 
of parasitic worms. Finally, the respiration of animals and plants is 
made the subject of simple laboratory experiments. Laboratory outlines 
furnished by the department. 

3. — General Biology III. Firs£ year, spring term. Class work, two 
hours; laboratory, four hours. Four credits.

the simplest animals and plants multiply. One-celled animals and plants, 
which increase by simple division of the cell, are used in the beginning as 
illustrations. Reproduction in plants b3^ means of spores is studied in 
molds and other plants, and in ferns. Reproduction is then considered in 
the higher animals and plants, in which there is a setting aside of special 



School of Agriculture 89 

cells for reproduction, which are separate from the body cells. Fertiliza- 
tion of the higher plants is taken up at some length. The biology of 
flowers is considered, together with relation of flowers to insects. At- 
tention is given to close- and cross-fertilization, and their consequences in 
animals and plants. 

The course finally closes with a study of the causes of old age and 
death in animals and plants, of the limits of life, of how life may be 
prolonged, and of health and disease. The practical applications of 
biology to human life are brought out, in such matters as sanitation, pre- 
vention of the causes of disease, the meaning of cleanliness, the care of 
the body, and the deleterious effects of various narcotics and stimulants 
poisonous to protoplasm and to cell life, such as tobacco, opium, coffee, 
tea, alcohol. Textbook to be selected. 

Laboratory. — The students carry on experiments in growing moulds and 
other fungi, and ferns from their spores. Flowering plants are pollinated 
in the greenhouse, and the development of their seeds is followed. Ex- 
periments are devised in close- and cross-pollination. Fertilization in 
eggs of frogs, in fish spawn, and in eggs of a brown alga (rockweed), 
and the development of the animal larvae is followed. The course closes 
with an attempt to discover the effects of narcotics, alcohol, etc., on pro- 
toplasm by experiments with lower forms of life.

102 Kansas State Agricultural College 



Division of Agriculture 

William M Jardine, Dean. 



The teaching of a rational, practical system of agriculture is 
fundamental to industrial development in a State whose prin- 
cipal resources are derived from agricultural pursuits. This 
State has permanent prosperity in direct proportion to the 
producing capacity of her land. The unit of production is the 
acre, and the most successful farmer is necessarily the one 
who can produce, at minimum cost, a maximum quantity of 
the best quality of agricultural products to the acre. 

In order to do this, it is necessary to know something of the 
soil, the conservation of its fertility and moisture, and its 
proper cultivation ; the kinds of plants to grow and how to im- 
prove them ; the selection, breeding and feeding of live stock ; 
the maintenance of orchards, gardens, and attractive sur- 
roundings; farm buildings, and the equipment of the farm 
home with modern conveniences ; the best methods of market- 
ing the products of the farm ; and, in addition to all this, the 
making of the farm home the center of influence for good 
citizenship and fellowship in the neighborhood. 

A man may get many of these things through practical ex- 
perience, and thus become an exponent of modern farming, 
but the cost entailed is usually unnecessarily great. The 
agricultural college furnishes a means of acquiring a syste- 
matic and practical training in agriculture, which fits young 
men adequately for the farm, at a minimum of time and finan- 
cial cost. 

EQUIPMENT 

The facilities for such training in this College are of the 
best. The College owns 748 acres of land, which is used for 
instruction and demonstration in the various courses in agri- 
culture and allied branches. The campus, which comprises 
160 acres, affords one of the best examples of ornamental tree 
planting and forestry in the State. Students working daily 
amid such surroundings can scarcely fail to gain an apprecia- 
tion of and love for the beautiful. A tract of 320 acres, pur- 
chased with an appropriation made by the legislature of 1909, 
is devoted to the work in agronomy. For horticultural and 
forestry work, eighty acres are used; for dairy work, about 
seventy acres ; and for animal husbandry purposes, 140 acres. 
The herds and flocks contain all the important breeds of dairy 



Division of Agriculture 103 

and beef cattle, hogs, horses, and sheep, among which are in- 
cluded the world's champion steers of a recent international 
stock show at Chicago, and many animals that have won 
championships at local and state fairs in the past five years. 
With this class of stock available for the work in judging, the 
student is supplied with types of the best breeds, and becomes 
familiar with these types by actual handling of the stock. 

The College has one of the best-equipped schools of veteri- 
nary medicine in the West. It is rated in class "A" by the 
United States Department of Agriculture, which rating places 
it among the best in the United States and Cajiada. In addi- 
tion to giving the student the best possible technical training 
in veterinary medicine, the course is designed to give the broad 
culture necessary for men who are to take their place in so- 
ciety and public affairs. Professional men, such as veterina-? 
rians, are placed in a more or less public relation to the com-' 
munity they serve. They must have a broad groundwork in 
cultural and ethical training, which will win them the con- 
fidence and respect of their communities. Success is measured 
in something more than dollars and cents, and the man whose 
view of life is no broader than his profession adds but little 
to the world and its happiness. The training given by the 
College in veterinary science, as in all its courses in agricul- 
ture, seeks to emphasize the value of the man as a man, as 
much as his value as a specialist in agriculture. 

COURSES OF STUDY 

The various needs of the student are met by offering in the 
division of agriculture the following courses: 
A four-year course in agriculture. 
A four-year course in veterinary medicine. 
A three-year secondary course in agriculture. 
A two-year short winter course in agriculture. 
A two-year short winter course in dairying. 
A one-year short winter course in dairy manufactures. 
A short course in testing dairy products. 

DEGEEES AND CERTIFICATES 

The four-year course in agriculture leads to the degree of 
bachelor of science in agriculture. The four-year course in 
veterinary medicine leads to the degree of doctor of veterinary 
medicine. A certificate in agriculture is granted to a student 
completing the three-year course. A short-course certificate 
is granted to a student completing either of the two-year short 
courses in agriculture. 

The four-year course in agriculture is designed to meet the 
needs primarily of the students who expect to return to the 
farm. However, the student who completes any of the courses 



104 Kansas State Agricultural College 

offered will have had sufficient training to enable him to enter 
some one of the many lines of agricultural industry as a 
specialist. The demand for men thus trained is constantly in- 
creasing, and such positions offer attractive opportunities for 
men who by nature and training are adapted to the work. The 
United States Department of Agriculture, the state colleges 
and departments of agriculture, high schools, private institu- 
tions of secondary and college rank, and a great variety of 
commercial interests, are constantly demanding men trained 
in agriculture. 

The young man who expects to make farming his life work 
can start with no better asset than the thorough training in 
practical and scientific agriculture afforded by the four-year 
course. The American farmer needs more of the skill that 
comes through the training of the hand, in order that he may 
better do the work of farming; but infinitely more, he needs 
the training of the mind in the fundamental truths that lie 
back of every operation in farming, in order that he may use 
the skill of the craftsman with reason and judgment. One 
may learn to plow a field with the greatest skill ; the work may 
be a model of its kind. If, however, it is plowed with utter 
disregard of the moisture conditions which prevail, the result 
may be failure. To understand the conditions which should 
determine when and how to plow is the work of the trained 
mind ; the other is the work of the trained hand. The farmer 
and the teacher in farming must possess both kinds of train- 
ing, and the courses of study have been revised with this fact 
in view, and have been so arranged that the student begins his 
practical training in agriculture on the first day he enters Col- 
lege, and continues it throughout the course. 

THE COURSE IN AGRICULTURE 

Two hundred fourteen credits in addition to military drill 
are required for graduation, as follows: 

Credits. 
Prescribed agriculture * 55 

Electives in agriculture required, with their prerequisites t 35 to 40 

Required in agriculture 90 to 95 

Prescribed in nonagriculture 107 

Electives in nonagriculture required 17 to 12 

Required in nonagriculture 124 to 119 

Total term hours for graduation 214 214 

Only those students will be allowed to graduate who have had 
at least six months' practical experience in agriculture, ap- 
proved by the Dean of the Division of Agriculture, and who 
have elected (including the prerequisites) 20 credits within a 



Division of Agriculture 105 

department of the Division of Agriculture. The prerequisites 
are to be other than those in the required work. 

The student who completes the freshman and sophomore, 
years will have had, in addition to the fundamental work in 
chemistry, zoology, and botany, practical studies each term 
in farm crops, cattle, hogs, horses, sheep, dairying, poultry, 
horticulture, and farm mechanics. These two years give the 
student a general knowledge of the whole range of practical 
agriculture. One-third of the student's time is devoted to 
these subjects. 

During the junior and senior years the student continues 
his studies of fundamental science, and learns to apply science 
to practical agriculture. He is led step by step to understand 
the scientific relation of every farming operation. There is 
so much agriculture to be taught that it becomes necessary 
for the student to choose in which of the general lines he will 
find that which best suits his needs or liking. This is made 
possible by numerous electives in soils, crops, farm machinery, 
animal husbandry, dairying, horticulture, milling, and poultry. 

The foundation of all agricultural work is the soil and the 
crops grown upon it. Success in live stock or dairying de- 
pends, in a great measure, upon the ability of the soil to pro- 
duce, with economy, sufficient crops of the right character. 
Success in grain farming depends wholly on the productive- 
ness of the soil and the selection of the crops and of methods 
of culture adapted to the region under cultivation. 

THE COURSE IN VETERINARY MEDICINE 

Veterinary medicine has made remarkable advances within 
recent years, and is taking its place alongside human medicine 
as a science. In truth, medical science and veterinary science 
are but specialized branches of the same science, and must be 
developed together. The modern veterinarian takes his place 
in the community as a professional man of education and 
culture. With the general improvement of the live stock on 
the farms, and with their advance in value, there is constant 
increase in the demand for skilled physicians to care for them. 

The veterinarian, while primarily trained to conserve the 
health of farm animals, has a yet larger service to render in 
preventing diseases common to both man and beast from being 
communicated from domestic animals to man, Moreover, he 
must see that the animals slaughtered for meat are healthy and 
that the products are handled under such conditions as render 
them suitable for human food. 

The public is now demanding that milk and other food 
products be free from contamination, and that they be in- 
capable of transmitting dangerous diseases, like tuberculosis, 
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, and diphtheria. There is ample 



106 Kansas State Agricultural College 

work for all of the thoroughly competent veterinarians that 
the colleges of the country will train. 

The course in veterinary medicine at the Agricultural Col- 
lege was established to give the young men of this State 
an opportunity to pursue these studies in an agricultural 
environment, where the facilities offered by other branches 
of the College would be at their command. While the instruc- 
tion in this course is largely technical, enough subjects of a 
general character are included to give a sound education and a 
broad outlook. 

Better to fit the veterinarian to deal wisely with the live- 
stock problems which he has to meet, he is required to take 
the work in stock feeding, ^tock breeding, stock judging, pedi- 
grees, milk inspection, vertebrate zoology, embryology, and 
agricultural economics, in addition to his purely professional 
work. 

The diploma from this school is recognized by the United 
States Department of Agriculture, by the United States Civil 
Service Commission, by the American Veterinary Medical 
Association, and by the various examining boards of the sev- 
eral states and territories of America where it has been pre- 
sented. 

THREE-YEAR COURSE IN AGRICULTURE 

The purpose of the three-year course is to furnish practical, 
systematic training in agriculture to persons of mature judg- 
ment who are unable to meet the college entrance requirements. 
The work is given by the regular members of the College 
Faculty. This course, throughout, emphasizes the practical 
phases of agriculture. The necessity for a thorough under- 
standing of the fundamental principles that form the founda- 
tion upon which agricultural practices are built, is, however, 
not lost sight of, and as much of this phase of the work is 
:given as the student's preparation will permit.

The College farm used by the Department of Agronomy comprises 320 
acres of medium rolling upland soil, well suited to experimental and 
demonstration work. It is well equipped with all kinds of farm machinery 
necessary in crop production. The general fields and experimental plots 
used for the breeding and testing of farm crops, and for conducting soil 
fertility experiments and experiments in methods of soil culture, afford 
the student excellent opportunities for study and investigation. 

A large and well-equipped laboratory for soil physics and soil-fertility 
work is maintained for the regular use of students. Laboratories for 
grain judging and crop judging are maintained for students taking this 
work. Material is provided for the use of the students in the study and 
determination of the grains and forages best adapted to different pur- 
poses and most suitable for growing under different soil and climatic 
conditions. Ample greenhouse space is provided for the students' use in 
germinating seeds under varying soil-moisture conditions, at different 
depths of planting, and with varying degrees of temperature; and for 
research work in soils during the winter months. 

The farm-mechanics laboratory is well supplied with representative 
types of farm machinery for demonstration and illustrative purposes in 
farm mechanics. Different makes of all kinds of farm machinery are 
supplied by implement manufacturers for study and investigation. 

The Department of Agronomy offers courses in grain judging, crop 
production, soil physics, soil fertility, soil surveying, farm mechanics, 
irrigation and drainage, and farm management. 

The following detailed description of courses will give a definite under- 
standing of each subject given, its position in the course, and the pro- 
portion of time devoted to class and to laboratory work: 

COURSES IN FARM CROPS

management of a farm. Lectures are given on the points to be considered 
in the selection of a farm, on types of farming, on the planning and 
arrangement of the farmstead and of the fields and the crops; on the 
ease, cost and methods of marketing different farm products. Different 
regions are discussed with especial reference to their adaptability to 
certain types of farming. Farm records and accounts are kept. The 
labor question is analyzed. The distribution of capital, its relation to 
profit, and the relation of live stock to crop production and to the 
maintenance of a permanent agriculture, receive consideration. Rural 
conditions with respect to people, roads, schools, churches and social 
conveniences also find consideration in the course. Methods of renting 
and leasing farms are discussed, and their important points emphasized. 

Laboratory. — At the beginning of the course the students are required 
to furnish plans and inventories of their own farms or of a farm with 
which they are familiar, together with a financial record of one year's 
actual operations. The farm is then replanned in accordance with the 
principles developed in this course. Whenever practicable, neighboring 
farms are visited and studied with the idea of securing first-hand in- 
formation as to the farm plan, especially with respect to the arrange- 
ment of the fields, to the buildings, to the farmstead, and to the rotation 
of crops used. Text, Warren's Farm Management.

The Department of Animal Husbandry owns about 140 acres of land 
and rents 300 acres for the maintenance of herds and flocks of pure-bred 
horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs. The College live stock has attained a 
national reputation among breeders and feeders on account of the many 
prize-winning animals produced. 

The feed yards and barns are well arranged for experimental feeding 
and the maintenance of the herds. The laboratory of the animal hus- 
bandry student is, as a matter of fact, the feed yard and the animal. He 
studies the animal from the standpoint of the breeder and of the feeder, 
and learns to combine the needs of each and to find these qualities ex- 
emplified in the perfect animal. 

The courses of study in this department are so arranged as to give 
the student special instruction in the selection, breeding, feeding, market- 
ing and management of all classes of live stock. Attention is also given 
to the sanitary conditions and treatment of the more common forms of 
disease to which the animals are subject.

Dairy Husbandry 

Professor Reed. 
Instructor Eudnick. 
Instructor Fitch. 
Assistant Tomson. 

The college dairy farm, including the buildings and yards, consists of 
about seventy acres of medium upland. This land is used for growing 
corn, alfalfa, and other crops, such as cowpeas, field peas, and sorghum, 
and for the pasture of the dairy herd. 

The barn is built on the most approved model for the housing of 
dairy cattle, and is light, well-ventilated, and sanitary, with stalls for 
seventy cows. Three silos of modern type, feed rooms, a milk room, a 
boiler room, and a laboratory exist in connection with the barn. Each 
of these illustrates some especially desirable feature in dairy building 
and construction. 

The dairy herd consists of excellent types of the four dairy breeds: 
Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, and Holstein. These animals are pure-bred 
and a number have been entered in the advanced registry of their re- 
spective breeds. The Department of Dairy Husbandry purposes to keep 
one animal for each acre in cultivation, raising all of the corn needed 
for silage, as well as alfalfa necessary for the animal for one year, and 
furnishing all of the pasture required by the young stock. 

The dairy building houses the creamery, the cheese rooms, the class- 
rooms, and the offices, and the necessary laboratories for testing and 
hand-separator work. Refrigeration is secured from a small refrigerat- 
ing machine and ice plant installed in the building. These facilities of 
barn, herd, and laboratories are in constant use by the students of dairy- 
ing. The instruction in dairy husbandry includes the study of the selec- 
tion and breeding of dairy animals, the production of milk, its manu- 
facture into butter, cheese, and other dairy products, or its sale on the 
market.

Forestry 

Forester Scott. 

The Department of Forestry, established by authority of an act of 
the legislature in 1909, is in charge of forestry extension and investiga- 
tions throughout the State, and of the College instruction in these sub- 
jects. 

The great importance to State and nation of conserving the present 
area of woodland and of adding to it by plantings upon every farm is 
universally acknowledged. The direct value to the farm of supplies of 
posts, poles, and fuel is readily computed, but the value to the State of 
these timber areas in the protection to soil, conservation of moisture, 
and improved landscape effect, is even more important in the agricul- 
tural welfare of the State and of the citizen.

The Department of Veterinary Medicine gives most of the technical 
work in the course in veterinary medicine, a general description of which 
is given elsewhere. The department is housed in the Veterinary Building, 
which was erected at a cost of over $60,000 and is thoroughly equipped 
throughout. It contains modern classrooms, and its laboratories possess 
the necessary appliances for illustrating the several subjects required. 
The mode of instruction is more specifically detailed in succeeding sections. 

The courses in anatomy require several lecture rooms, which contain 
models, skeletons, and bones of all kinds, and a thoroughly sanitary dis- 
secting room equipped with all of the latest materials necessary to give a 



Division of Agriculture 127 

course in anatomy second to none on the continent. The dissecting ma- 
terials are furnished by the department free of charge. 

For work in histology and pathology the department is exceedingly 
well provided. It has over thirty large microscopes, equipped with both 
high and low power, and several oil immersion objectives, microtomes, the 
best reflectoscope and projectoscope obtainable, besides a large assort- 
ment of histological and pathological slides, materials, and specimens for 
use in demonstration work in class and laboratory. 

The equipment for instruction in physiology is ample to give the stu- 
dent a thoroughly comprehensive course of laboratory study. 

For the study of materia medica and pharmacy there is a general phar- 
macy laboratory containing all the drugs used in the practice of veter- 
inary medicine, and a practicing pharmacy where medicines are com- 
pounded for the every-day practice connected with the College. 

For instruction in surgery and clinic the equipment is excellent. The 
surgical amphitheater is an annex to the main Veterinary Building, seat- 
ing over three hundred people, and equipped with every modern appliance 
for performing before the classes the most delicate operations upon both 
large and small animals. The hospital has a capacity of about thirty 
animals and is nearly always filled with patients, which gives ample ma- 
terial for the study of internal medicine as well. The out-clinic furnishes 
several thousand cases yearly, giving the student opportunity to become 
familiar with the diseases and their treatment under the guidance of 
proficient practitioners. 

The policy adhered to in the instruction in all the departments is that 
the science of veterinary medicine is the foundation, and the art merely 
supplementary. A thorough drill is given in the foundation studies, and 
later in the course practical application of these is made in actual field 
work. This results in a thoroughly scientific veterinary education. 

COURSES IN ANATOMY 

A few years ago there was inaugurated an entirely different method of 
anatomical instruction, hitherto untried in any school of human or vet- 
erinary medicine, and its success was so marked that it has become a 
permanent feature of the teaching of the department/ Anatomy I, in- 
cluding dissection, takes up the bones of the trunk, i. e., the vertebrae, ribs, 
sternum, and pelvis. The ligaments which hold these bones together are 
next considered, and are followed immediately by a study of the muscles 
of the trunk, which inclose the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The 
student is now ready to fill in and locate properly, and to study thoroughly, 
the important organs in these two body cavities. This work is immediately 
followed by the study of the blood supply of these organs, and this in 
turn by the study of the nerve supply controlling them, including that of 
the spinal cord, the vessels and nerves being carried to their point of 
exit from the trunk. 

After the completion of Anatomy I of this course, the student has 
actually seen and dissected every essential organ in its gross anatomy, 
and to some extent in its microscopic. He is now thoroughly prepared 



128 Kansas State Agricultural College 

for the study of histology, after which follows physiology, or the func- 
tional study of organs, and the detail of their cell structure. 

The limbs, the main functions of which are locomotion, are, together 
with the head and neck, usually in need of surgical rather than of medi- 
cinal treatment in veterinary practice. The practitioner, therefore, re- 
quires an extremely accurate knowledge of these parts, and when this 
anatomical study is brought closer in point of time to the study of surgery 
concerned, its practical application emphasizes the essential facts most 
effectively. By mutual consent, the dissection by one class occurs every 
morning at seven o'clock, thus giving higher classmen who desire to 
specialize in anatomy an opportunity to review the work, and to demon- 
strate by working with and by assisting the under classmen. 

Before dissecting the ligaments and muscles of any part, the student 
is required to study them upon a mounted skeleton, thus ascertaining the 
exact points at which they attach to the bones. He then goes over the 
same muscles and ligaments on the Azoux model, afterwards dissecting 
them and proving the facts already learned, thereby acquiring a perfect 
mental picture of the animal body. 

In Anatomy I, II, III, and IV, each student is required to pass one 
perfect examination upon the origins and insertions of all the equine 
muscles of the part dissected, and he is marked, not upon the degree of 
perfection of the examination, but upon whether perfection was accom- 
plished in the first, second, third, or fourth trial. He must also give a 
satisfactory tree outline of the circulatory and nervous systems, showing 
their distribution and branches, and their relationships, A satisfactory 
knowledge of the nerve supply of each muscle and of each cutaneous area 
is required. 

In the winter term of the freshman year the class is divided into two 
equal sections, one half studying the anterior limb, in Anatomy II, and 
the other half studying the posterior limb, in Anatomy III, while the 
reverse arrangement is followed in the spring term. 

The dissecting room is situated in the basement of the Veterinary 
Building, and possesses the best of sanitary and other equipment. The 
instruction in the classroom consists of quizzes, recitations, special dis- 
sections of the part under discussion, and a study of the Azoux model of 
the horse. Mounted skeletons and limbs and loose bones are abundant 
in the museum. 

The subjects for dissection are preserved by the injection of a formalde- 
hyde solution, followed by a red-starch solution that hardens within and 
fills the arteries. The veins are similary treated with a bluish medium. 
The subjects are further preserved by immersion in a large concrete tank 
containing 15,000 pounds of solution specially prepared for this purpose. 
McFadgean's Osteology and Anatomy of the Horse is required in Anatomy 
I, II, III, and IV; Sisson's Veterinary Anatomy is required in addition in 
Anatomy V and VI, but those students who can afford it are urged to 
purchase both at the beginning of the course.

the nerves in their entirety, and in the order here specified. The loco- 
motor, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems are then 
dealt with in such a manner as to build up a mental image of each struc- 
ture in the student's mind. 

Dissection, — In the dissecting room each division of systematic anatomy 
is taken up as a whole, each subject for dissection being preceded by 
regional and flap dissections of the principal operative areas, and by the 
isolation of the structures to be operated upon. The work also includes a 
mapping out in crayon of the important structures beneath the skin of a 
dark-colored horse. Textbook, Veterinary Anatomy, by S'isson.

7, — Anatomy. Sophomore year, fall term. Ten hours laboratory. 
Five credits. Required fall term, sophomore, agricultural courses. 

The course is planned to give the agricultural students a general idea 
of the anatomy of farm animals, together with comparative references 
to many structures of the human body that are usually omitted in their 
general education. The course aims to aid them in understanding con- 
formation by means of the study and dissection of the structures beneath 
the skin that modify it, at the same time observing the muscles of 
locomotion and the various levers, both as regards speed and power or 
draughting. Special attention is given to a thorough study of the foot, 
to enable the student to understand its care and shoeing. Considerable 
time is given to the digestive organs, to give the student a clear con- 
ception of the known physiologico-anatomical phases of feeding, diges- 
tion, nutrition, and metabolism. Text and laboratory guide, Osteology 
and Anatomy of the Horse, by McFadgean. 

COURSES IN HISTOLOGY 

Doctor Goss. 

Lectures and recitations cover the work, which is done in the labora- 
tory. During the lectures the projectoscope is used to illustrate the 
tissues studied. It is essential that the student obtain a thorough knowl- 
edge of the manipulation of the microscope, of the microscopical struc- 
ture of the normal animal tissues, and of the methods of fixing, embed- 
ding, sectioning, staining and mounting tissues. This work gives the 
foundation for the study of pathological histology. Each student must 
prepare a full set of slides, from which he makes high- and low-power 
drawings for future use. 

8. — Histology I. Freshman year, winter term. Class work, two 
hours; laboratory, four hours. Four credits. Required in the course 
in veterinary medicine, elective in the course in general science. Pre- 
requisite: Anatomy I. 

The first part of the term is spent upon the care and manipulation of 
the microscope, in the use of which the student must become proficient. 
This is followed by a microscopical examination of cotton, woolen, silk 
and linen fibers, bubbles of air, and drops of oil, to enable the student 
to recognize these when they are accidentally mounted with the tissue. 
The fundamental tissues are next studied: epithelial tissue with regard 
to form, structure, arrangement and location; connective tissue with 
regard to structure and location, including bone development and teeth 
and their development; muscular tissue, voluntary, involuntary, and 
cardiac; nerve tissue, the structures and forms of its cells, of medullated 
and nonmedullated nerve fibers; spinal cord; the blood vessels, heart, and 
lymphatic vessels. Blood corpuscles are studied with regard to size, 
shape, and structure, including each kind of white corpuscles; and the 
method of detecting blood by examination for haemin crystals is shown. 
In this term the student studies and mounts sixty-five slides, some of 
which are teased, and many of which are sectioned in paraffin and 
celloidin. Textbook, Histology, by Stohr. 

9. — Histology II. Freshman year, spring term. Class work, two 
hours; laboratory, four hours. Four credits. Required in the course 
in veterinary medicine; elective in the course in general science.

muscular and nervous symptoms, locomotion, generation and develop- 
ment, growth and decay. Textbook, Smith's A Manual of Veterinary 
Physiology. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work consists of a study of the normal 
urine, determining the composition, quantitatively as well as qualitatively. 
Tests for the detection of abnormal constituents, such as bile, blood-sugar 
and albumen, are applied to normal and also to pathological urine. 
Microscopic examination is made for blood casts, blood, etc. The labora- 
tory work in practical physiology consists in studying the phenomena 
associated with the nervous, muscular, respiratory and circulatory sys- 
tems, and making graphic records of the same. Textbook, Urine of the

tire course the purpose is to instill in the mind of the student normal shoe- 
ing, in order that he may be able to correct abnormalities in the foot 
and limb in so far as this can be accomplished by shoeing. Reference 
books: Lungwitz's Textbook of Horseshoeing; Dollar's Handbook of 
Horseshoeing, 

30. — Obstetrics. This branch is taken up both by the laboratory and 
lecture method ; two hours a week of the former and four hours a week, 
of the latter during the fall term of the senior year. 

Physiological obstetrics opens the course, during which periods of! 
oestrum and gestation, impregnation, ovulation, eutocia, etc., are dis- 
cussed. This is followed by pathological obstetrics, devoted to diseases 
of the new-born and diseases incidental to pregnancy, sterility, dystocia, 
and surgical obstetrics. The latter phase of the work is greatly assisted 
by demonstrations, during the laboratory period, on an obstetrical phan- 
tom and foetus; in addition, the College farm and surrounding agri- 
cultural territory furnish an abundance of actual material. Reference.-

tion are also studied. The instruction in obstetrics embraces a comparison 
of the soft and bony structures of the pelvis in the different animals, the 
comparison being made with reference to normal and difficult parturition. 
The causes of sterility are discussed, and the necessary remedies sug- 
gested. Attention is given to 'the accidents and diseases incidental to 
normal and difficult parturition. The diseases following parturition and 
the diseases affecting the offspring are also dealt with. Text, The Farina 
er's Veterinarian, by Burkett. 



Short Winter Courses in Agriculture and Dairying 

The Agricultural College offers primarily four-year courses in agri- 
culture, which give the student a fundamental training in the sciences; 
relating to agriculture, and their application to the production of crops 
and stock and to farming in general. Such a course not only equips a man. 
to become a successful farmer, but makes of him a better citizen,, and a. 
leaaer in the broader duties of life. 

Not all young men who choose to farm have the time or the means to? 
spend the necessary four years in getting a college training. For suchi 
who are at least eighteen years of age, the Agricultural College offers a. 
short, practical course in agriculture and dairying, given in two terms.. 
The entire time of the student is occupied in learning how to do the 
various things which are necessary for the production of good crops and 
good stock, and for the business management of the farm. The subjects 
taught in such a course cover as much as can be given in the time, and 
are made intensely practical in presentation. The student is taught why 
and how to do the various farm operations.

DESCRIPTION OF SHORT COURSES 

AGRICULTURE AND DAIRYING 

The student may select either agriculture or dairying, or a combination 
of the two, as may best suit his individual needs. All students are re- 
quired to take crop production, live-stock production, poultry, and wood- 
work the first year, and breeding and feeding of live stock, live-stock 
sanitation, agricultural botany, soil physics, and blacksmithing the second 
year. Other subjects offered are elective, enough being taken to make up 
a full course of fifteen hours of class work and twenty-eight hours of 
laboratory work a week. 

The work in crop production and live-stock production gives a knowl- 
edge of these subjects in a practical way. The student who has not taken 
scientific work is not able to study them from the standpoint of one 
trained in chemistry, physics, zoology, etc., but can get from his study 
in class and laboratory the art of doing these things properly. The same 
is true of dairying and horticulture. The farmer needs to know how to 
select stock and crops that will be best adapted to his environment, and the 
short courses train him to do this. He needs to know how to prepare his 
soil for the reception of the seed; or so to. manage his feed as to make the 
greatest gains in feeding his live stock. These things are taught suc- 
cessfully to short-course students. 

Farm mechanics, as it relates to general farming or dairying and to 
practice in woodwork, is taught in such a way as to make the student 
capable of handling tools and machinery with proper skill. 

The students who return for the second winter's work are given more 
advanced work along the same lines that were studied the first year. 

The problems of breeding and feeding, diseases of live stock, soil and 
crop management, and the building up of pure-bred herds, are studied 
from the standpoints of the purchaser, the breeder, and the farmer.

SUBJECTS TAUGHT IN THE SHORT COURSES 
AGRONOMY 

1. — Crop Production. Class work, four hours; laboratory, four hours. 
Six credits. Required in the first year of the farmers' short course. _ 

In this course such questions as time, depth, and manner of plowing;; 
seed-bed preparation; time, rate, and method of seeding the various crops £ 
crop rotation and cultivation, and farm soils are taken up in turn and! 
discussed in a practical way. 

Laboratory. — Special attention is given to the grain crops grown in* 
this State. Various types of different varieties of corn, wheat, oats ? etc,,,, 
are available for comparative study. The student has the opportunity to* 
handle and examine specimens of the common crops of this State — th& 
best possible method for becoming familiar with the different plants. 

2. — Farm Mechanics. Laboratory, two hours. One credit. 

This is a new but very important line of work. There is probably a 
greater waste on farms from lack of knowledge of the kind of machinery 
to use, and of the way to care for it, than from any other cause. Me- 
chanics in some form is required in practically every operation per- 
formed on the farm. The purpose of this course is to acquaint the stu- 
dent with the important improvements in farm machinery and to give 
him a general idea of the proper care, adjustment, and use of all farm 
equipments, as well as a general idea of the factors concerned in the 
construction of farm buildings, etc. This work is given in the form of 
illustrated lectures and laboratory demonstrations. 

3. — Crop Improvement. Class work, three hours; laboratory, four 
hours. Five credits. 

The object of this course is to present practical, up-to-date, and ap- 
proved methods of improving farm crops. Such questions as seed selec- 
tion, crop adaptation, and crop rotation are presented and discussed in a 
practical manner. 

4. — Soils. Laboratory, four hours. Two credits, Required in the 
second year of the short course. 

This course consists of a study of methods of handling soils; it teaches 
how to prepare a suitable seed-bed, how to conserve moisture, and how to 
maintain fertility. A part of the period is used for lectures and demon- 
stration. 

5. — Farm Management. Class work, two hours. Two credits. 
The object of this course is to assist the student in applying to the 
management of a farm the information gained from his studies in the 



140 Kansas State Agricultural College 

various agricultural courses. The work in animal husbandry, dairying, 
horticulture, agronomy, and other lines is correlated and placed on a 
practicable, workable basis, with all nonessential features eliminated. 
The farm lay-out is studied with especial reference to the character of 
the soil, its adaptation to certain kinds of crops and types of farming; 
the location of the buildings, their adaptation to types of farming; the 
proper distribution of capital among land, buildings, live stock, farm 
machinery, etc.; the division .of the farm into fields of the proper size and 
shape for economical working; the planning and utilization of crops in 
rotation with one another; the relation of live stock to the maintenance 
of soil fertility; the proper adjustment of labor, teams, machinery, etc., 
to the farming area; and the growing of the right kind of crops in the 
proper proportion on farms of different types. 

HORTICULTURE 

1. — Horticulture and Forestry. Class work, four hours; laboratory, 
four hours. Six credits. 

Lectures are given on the principles upon which successful work in 
gardening and fruit growing depends. Here is given a discussion of the 
preparation of the soil, the use of fertilizers, the propagation and manipu- 
lation of plants, and the gathering and marketing of garden and orchard 
products. The twelve lectures on forestry here included cover in detail 
the formation of windbreaks and farm wood-lots, discuss the trees suit- 
able for planting in the different parts of the State, and describe methods 
of planting and the care and cultivation required for securing successful 
growth. 

Laboratory. — Two periods are used in investigating plant propagation, 
plant training, and plant protection. The other two periods are spent in 
inspecting the forest nursery and timber plantations. 

2. — Horticulture. Class work, three hours. Three credits. 

The work of this course is somewhat similar to the horticultural work 
described in the preceding course. A short discussion of the landscape 
principles and materials concerned in the improvement of farm prop- 
erties is included. 

3. — Horticulture Laboratory. Four hours. Two credits. 

This includes a study of orchard sites, and of grades of nursery stock 
and its care; tests of orchard tools, of fuels and heaters for frost pro- 
tection; a study of orchard sanitation, fruit picking, packing, judging, 
and storage. 

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY 

1.— - Live Stock Market Classes. Class work, one hour; laboratory, 
four hours. Three credits. 

One lecture a week is given on the various market classes of live stock, 
taking up the study of the various market requirements for producing 
fat as well as for feeding cattle, the different types and classes of horses, 
sheep, and hogs. The aim of this work is to make the student familiar 
with the classifications found in the leading live-stock markets, and to 
enable him better to judge the various breeds of stock on the farm. 

Laboratory. — The principal work is the judging of cattle, sheep, and 
hogs. The student is first taught the use of the score-card, and, after 
becoming familiar with this, is required to use comparison and group 
judging, the aim being to make him familiar with the best types of 
horses, and able both to detect unsoundness and to select such classes of 
stock as will give the best returns. During the last two weeks of the 
course the instruction in stock judging takes up dairy cattle. This is an 
elementary course in dairy-stock judging, and consists of scoring and 
judging animals by the use of score cards. 



Division of Agriculture 141 

2. — Live Stock Feeding. Class work, three hours. Three credits.

This subject is intended to give the student a knowledge of underlying 
principles and practices which are concerned in the improvement of our 
domestic animals. A careful study is made of the subject of variation in 
general. The subject of transmission of characters and the behavior of 
the various characters in transmission is taken up. The subject also 
includes correlation, type, and variability. Study is made of Mendel's 
law of hybrids. Prepotency of animals is studied as an influence in 
heredity. Practical problems involving the selection of animals and vari- 
ous systems of breeding, such as crossing, hybridizing, grading, line 
breeding, and inbreeding, are discussed. The student is shown how to 
maintain and to improve his own flocks and herds by the application of 
these various fundamental principles of breeding. 

4. — Breeds. Class work, one hour; laboratory, four hours. Three 
•credits. 

A study is made of the origin and history of the various breeds of 
domestic animals, of the characteristics of each breed, and of their 
adaptability to various conditions. 

Laboratory. — This work consists in the judging of pure-bred classes 
of stock. The characteristics of each breed, its weaknesses and its strong 
points, are emphasized, in order that the student may be better able to 
select his breeding herd. During the last two weeks of the course in 
breeds of live stock, the principal breeds of dairy cattle are studied, and 
types of each breed are judged and scored. For those students who elect 
dairying, or who desire to take more work in judging and studying dairy 
breeds, a special course is offered. In this course is given the history of 
breeds, their dairy characteristics, with the study of advanced registry 
systems and pedigree work with each breed. 

5. — Live Stock Sanitation. Class work, three hours. Three credits. 

This subject deals with diseases that are communicable from animal 
to animal or from animal to man. The causes, symptoms, and methods 
that are employed to prevent and to combat the spread of diseases, and 
the drugs that are commonly used as disinfectants, for washes, dips, 
etc., are given full consideration. The use of serums, vaccines, etc., for 
the prevention of diseases is considered. Methods of disposal of sick and 
dead animals, as well as the means employed to clean and to disinfect the 
premises so as to prevent a recurrence of diseases, are considered.

wish to gain, in a short time, skill and accuracy in the application of the 
various tests necessary in such work. The law of the state requires that 
all persons buying milk or cream by test must pass a satisfactory exam- 
ination and secure a certificate from the State Dairy Commissioner. This 
course is designed to meet the needs of those who find they have not 
sufficient knowledge of the subject to pass such an examination. 

In addition to a study of the Babcock test, the student receives lectures 
on ordinary sanitation, and learns the methods necessary to keep his 
place of business in a sanitary condition. Exercises are given in grading 
milk and cream, and in methods of handling cream so as to keep it in con- 
dition until used or delivered at the railway station. This course is 
offered at different periods throughout the year, dates being announced a 
few days previous to the opening of each period. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 

Students over seventeen years of age are admitted to these courses 
without examination. Students under seventeen years of age are ad- 
mitted without examination, provided they present a certificate showing 
that they have completed the eighth grade in the common-school course, 
or its equivalent. 

All students entering short courses are required to be present at the 
beginning of the term, and will not be admitted later. 

Certificate. — A certificate is granted to students completing the work

Agriculture in the Summer School 

At the present time the greatest hindrance to the general introduction 
of agriculture into the high schools and grade schools of the State is a 
lack of properly prepared teachers. In order to give the teachers of the 
State an opportunity to fit themselves to introduce this subject success- 
fully into their schools, the College offers summer courses in agriculture, 
in which especial emphasis is laid upon the subject matter and methods 
adapted to secondary and primary schools. 

The work offered consists in part of some of the regular subjects of 
the College courses, including a thorough study of farm crops, especially 
corn and small grains, in which growing as well as matured crops are 
available for laboratory work. Courses are also available in the study of 
market types and classes of beef cattle, dairy stock, sheep and swine,, 
with extensive practice in stock judging. Instruction is also given in 
dairying, poultry husbandry, general horticulture, landscape gardening, 
and orcharding. In addition to these subjects from the College courses, 
special classes are organized to meet the needs of teachers of agriculture 
in the rural schools, in the high schools, and in the lower grades. 

A special circular giving details of the Summer School may be obtained 
by application to the President of the College. The article in this cata- 
logue on the Summer School gives brief information.

Edmund Burke McCormick, Bean, 



The Division of Mechanic Arts includes courses in mechani- 
cal engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, ar- 
chitecture, and printing, each leading to the degree of bachelor 
of science in the profession selected. 

The work of the freshman year is the same in all courses, ex- 
cept the course in printing; the work of the sophomore year is 
the same for students of mechanical engineering and electrical 
engineering, and, except that surveying is substituted for shop 
work, is the same for the course in civil engineering. For 
the course in architecture the plan of studies for the sopho- 
more year is somewhat further modified. 

The course in printing necessarily differs from the others 
throughout, because the nature of the work for which the 
young men are trained is far different. 

While the courses offered are believed to be sufficient to cover 
the needs of the average young man, it is possible to combine 
portions of the work of two or more of these courses in such 
a way that one may be prepared to take up a special line of 
work for which he desires to fit himself. For example, by sub- 
stituting certain subjects from the departments of chemistry 
and geology for some of those in the course in mechanical en- 
gineering, a young man can fit himself for work in connection 
with the manufacture of cement. By substituting some of the 
subjects in chemistry for others in mechanical engineering, a 
special preparation can be secured for chemical engineering* 
By combining some of the subjects of the courses in civil and 
mechanical engineering and by taking additional work in 
chemistry and geology, a young man may fit himself for special 
work in connection with the development of the coal fields 
throughout the country. By combining work in the courses 
in architecture and civil engineering, specialization in archi- 
tectural engineering may be secured. In special cases permis- 
sion will be granted to combine the work on the lines here in- 
dicated. 

However, it is believed that the courses as tabulated give the 
best preparation for students expecting to follow general work 
in the profession selected, and for those who are not absolutely 
certain what branch of their profession they will follow. The 
substitutions and combinations indicated, and others similar to 
them, will be permitted only when there is good evidence that 



146 Kansas State Agricultural College 

the student desiring such work is practically certain to follow 
the branch selected. 

In the case of any of these modifications, the degree granted 
will be that of the course in which the major portion of the 
work is taken. In no case will the substitution of an additional 
amount of technical work for any of the general cultural work 
in the course be allowed. 

COURSE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 

The course in mechanical engineering is designed to fit men 
for positions of authority and responsibility in this profession. 
It prepares for the successful management and superintend- 
ence of factories and power plants; for the design of power 
and machinery installations ; for the design and construction of 
machine tools, steam and gas engines, compressors, hydraulic 
machinery, etc. ; and for the design and erection of mill and 
engineering buildings. 

The course of study has been laid out with the aim of se- 
curing a judicious mixture of theory and practice, such as will 
not only give the student the technical skill required for engi- 
neering operations, but will also give him a broad grasp of the 
fundamental principles of his profession. 

It is not the intention in this course to give the young man 
training similar to that received in serving an apprenticeship, 
but rather to instruct him in the technical and theoretical prin- 
ciples upon which the art of mechanical engineering is based, 
without a thorough knowledge of which a man can not rise to 
a position of responsibility in this profession. The advantages 
of combining a practical application of principles with theoreti- 
cal instruction, while these principles are being impressed 
upon the student by classroom work, are well known. 

The course in shop work, being purely educational in its 
character, is designed to teach the various methods of doing 
shop work, the operations that may be performed upon the 
different machines, and upon what machines certain operations 
can be performed most economically, as well as to acquaint the 
student with what may be expected not only from the ma- 
chines, but from the men operating them. In order to secure 
this knowledge it is necessary that the student should perform 
a large variety of operations. To accomplish this result, an 
appreciable proportion of the course consists of graded exer- 
cises. Wherever possible the student also is assigned to work 
on apparatus and machinery that is being built for use in the 
engineering or other departments of the College, a large 
amount of which is constantly under way in the shops. 

Each student in the course in mechanical engineering is re- 
quired to present before graduation a satisfactory thesis that 
shows the results of original research along engineering lines.

COURSE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 

The essential elements underlying a sound engineering train- 
ing are based upon a thorough study of mathematics and the 
physical sciences. The professional work of this course begins 
in the third year and continues throughout the rest of the 
course. General culture subjects are offered during the first 
three years of the course. 

Emphasis is placed upon training to deal with forces and 
matter according to scientific principles, rather than upon the 
accumulation of facts. The department laboratories are well 
equipped with the various measuring instruments, standard- 
izing apparatus, and the different types of dynamo machinery. 
The different subjects are presented in the classroom, and the 
classroom work is supplemented by laboratory practice. The 
course provides a liberal training in wood- and iron-working, 
mechanical drawing, and machine-shop practice. The labora- 
tory experiments selected for the student are designed to give 
a clear conception of the theoretical work of the classroom. 

Students are given extensive practice in connecting up the 
different types of machines for testing purposes and for stand- 
ard commercial work. This practice work and testing ex- 
tends throughout the junior and senior years, and is intended 
to give the student familiarity with the underlying principles 
of the different machines, and a knowledge of the care neces- 
sary to operate them successfully. Opportunity is also given 
to undertake the investigation of commercial problems as they 
are sent to the College from the different, central stations of 
the State. 

In connection with the regular work of the classroom and 
the laboratory, extensive references are given to leading books 
and to current literature on technical engineering. In con- 
nection with the laboratory work a certain amount of library 
work is required. In the year 1908 a College branch of the 
American Institute of Electrical Engineers was organized. 
The branch meets the first Tuesday of each month. At these 
meetings the instructors meet with the students for the dis- 
cussion of technical subjects in engineering. Consulting engi- 
neers and central-station managers are invited to present 
papers at these meetings. 

COURSE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING 

The aim of the course in civil engineering, as outlined in the 
catalogue, is to give to the young men taking the course the 
best possible preparation for entering upon the active practice 
of the profession under present conditions. It will be noted 
that the first and second years of the course are devoted almost 
entirely to general culture studies and the sciences, including 
mathematics. This follows the arrangement generally found 



148 Kansas State Agricultural College 

in the engineering courses of American colleges. It finds its 
justification in the well-nigh universally accepted idea that 
any engineering education worthy of consideration must be 
grounded upon ample preliminary education in the allied 
sciences. In recognition of the mechanical trend of the age, 
liberal provision is made in the course for class and laboratory 
work in mechanical and electrical engineering. 

Manhattan is located at the junction of the Kansas and Big 
Blue rivers, so that there are several bridges in the vicinity 
which serve as examples of practical construction for students 
of structural engineering. The proximity of the rivers also 
makes it possible for the students to work on problems of 
river hydraulics on a practical scale. The topography of the 
country surrounding the College is particularly favorable to 
field practice in the various branches of surveying, and as 
much time as possible is devoted to actual field operations 
with the common surveying instruments of the engineer. 

In view of the growing importance of municipal problems, 
such as paving, sewerage and water-supply, the course in 
civil engineering includes a required course in municipal en- 
gineering, supplemented by courses in sanitary biology and 
chemistry. 

The work in highway engineering, coming at the end of 
the senior year, affords time for an unusually thorough course 
in this subject, which is of such great importance at the 
present time. 

A liberal course in drainage and irrigation engineering is 
introduced for those who may wish to take up this line of 
work, which is coming rapidly into prominence. 

COURSE IN ARCHITECTURE 

The course in architecture at the Kansas State Agricultural 
College was organized in 1904 to meet an urgent demand for 
designers and builders, a demand caused by the rapidly in- 
creasing wealth of the State, which showed itself in every 
county by the erection of modern residences, large business 
blocks, and substantial public buildings. It was manifest that 
there was a lack of properly trained architects and contractors, 
while there was not a technical institution within several 
hundred miles of Manhattan that had made provision for the 
study of • architecture and its basic sciences. The first class of 
students graduated from the newly organized course in 1905, 
and since that year there have been a number of graduates 
every spring, while many more have taken partial courses. 

The freshman year of the course in architecture is identical 
with that of the other courses of the division of mechanic arts. 
The other three years are devoted to the study of pure and ap- 
plied mathematics, mechanics, physics, history of architecture, 
municipal improvements, modern steel and cement construe- 



Division of Mechanic Arts 149 

tion, landscape architecture, and especially to the study of 
drawing and drafting. The course aims to develop the cre- 
ative powers of the student in the fields of original composi- 
tion. From ten to sixteen hours per week, for the last three 
years of the course, are given to work of this kind over the 
drawing table. 

The College is well equipped for the maintenance of a course 
in architecture. Its mechanical workshops are the most ex-. 
tensive west of the Missouri river ; its science laboratories are 
provided with an abundance of modern scientific apparatus; 
it owns a rapidly growing collection of several hundred plaster 
casts, tile and terra cotta samples, marble specimens, etc. It 
has a fine collection of models of the classic orders; a collec- 
tion of blue-prints of over fifty residences, schoolhouses and 
churches, and of nearly all the Kansas state buildings ; a large 
number of modern books on architecture and engineering; 
a complete set of the international edition of the American 
Architect; a complete set of the Inland Architect, and sets of 
several . European architectural magazines ; a well-equipped 
blue-print room, etc. The substantial stone buildings of the 
institution, their complete system of water-supply, drainage, 
heating and lighting, and one of the largest and handsomest 
campuses in America, furnish excellent illustrative material. 

Students taking the course in architecture are expected to 
devote their summer vacations to practical work in actual 
building operations.

154 Kansas State Agricultural College 



Applied Mechanics and Hydraulics 

Professor Seaton. 

The courses in applied mechanics are designed primarily to teach the 
graphical and analytical methods of determination both of the forces 
acting on the parts of structures and machines, and of the effect of these 
forces on the parts, together with the fundamental principles of the 
design of the parts to meet specified conditions. The course is intended 
to be of a highly practical character. For the purpose of better fixing 
in the mind of the student the principles taught, the solution of a large 
number of problems involving these principles is required in both the 
applied mechanics and the hydraulics. The principles are further illus- 
trated by means of the laboratory and drafting-room work, which par- 
allels the classroom instruction. The textbooks in several of the courses 
are supplemented by notes and assigned reference work.

Architecture and Drawing 



Professor Walters. 
Instructor Harris. 
Instructor Weeks. 
Assistant Morton. 
Assistant Coith. 
Assistant Pratt. 

The educational and practical value of a systematic course in the 
•various branches of drawing can hardly be overestimated. The general 
-aims of the several courses in industrial art are the same: (a) The cul- 
tivation of observation and analysis of form; (6) the development of 
•correct taste; (c) the teaching of the different methods of graphic repre- 
sentation; (d) the acquirement of skill in handling drawing tools. 

The instruction offered in architecture is intended to supply the pre- 
liminary training required for the practice of architecture and to prepare 
the student to pass the examinations required of architects by many cities

and states. It recognizes the fact that this instruction must have a three- 
fold object: First, the teaching of sound modern building construction; 
second, the teaching of the different methods of graphic representation; 
and third, the development of correct taste. 

The first is attained, in connection with the work in other departments, 
by lectures, and by extended laboratory work in heating, plumbing, con- 
crete construction, steel construction, and electric lighting, also by pre- 
paring building specifications and making investigations of the legal and 
ethical relations of architect, owner, and contractor. The second end in- 
volves the teaching of correct perception and analysis of form. An aver- 
age of about twelve hours a week throughout the four years is given to 
projection drawing, descriptive geometry, isometric drawing, linear per- 
spective, shades and shadows, sketching from casts and from life, archi- 
' tectural drawing, and architectural composition. The development of cor- 
rect taste is probably the most difficult to accomplish. Even with the tal- 
ented student its acquisition requires extended and persistent efforts of a 
greatly varied character. This is sought by offering much work in sketch- 
ing and rendering, mural decoration, landscape architecture, architectural 
criticism, and architectural composition. Five terms are devoted to the 
study of the fundamental principles of design and the styles of the past.

Professor McCormick. 
Assistant Orr. 
Assistant Johnson. 
Assistant Sanders. 

The work given in this department is intended to supplement the 
courses in applied mechanics, hydraulics, machine design, and steam and 
gas engineering. The instructor undertakes to show the application of 
theoretical principles to actual problems, to teach the methods of con- 
ducting commercial tests, and to encourage original experimental inves- 
tigation. The student is required to present a complete report of each 
experiment performed, which includes such charts, tables and conclusions 
as would be embodied in a report given by a consulting engineer in com- 
mercial work. 

In addition to the equipment installed especially for experimental pur- 
poses, all of the heat, power, ventilating and pumping equipment of the 
College subserves the further purpose of experimental work. There are 
available for boiler tests three 125-horsepower high-pressure boilers, 
identical in construction and setting, but equipped with different me- 
chanical stokers, one having an underfeed stoker, another a chain grate, 
and a third a rocking grate. Besides the three high-pressure boilers, 
there are eight low-pressure boilers equipped with underfeed stokers and 
so arranged that they can be run independently or in batteries. These 
boilers have full equipment of auxiliaries, and, in connection with the 
.engines and dynamos, make possible a wide range of experimental work. 
The laboratories contain five steam engines, ranging from 6 horse- 
power to 100 horsepower, and a 300-horsepower DeLaval steam turbine. 
4Dne of these engines and the turbine are direct-connected to generators. 
...Another of the engines is belted to a generator, while the remainder are 
-run in connection with absorption brakes. 

The department owns two modern traction engines, which are occa- 
sionally used for testing purposes. Several types of gas engines are in 
ithe laboratories, ranging from 3 to 10 horsepower, and in addition a four- 
-cycle gasoline tractor which will develop 35 horsepower. A small com- 
jpressed-air plant is installed in the laboratories, and consists of an eight- 
fcy-eight Ingersoll- Sargent air compressor, driven by an electric motor, 
driving in turn a small motor, the power of which is absorbed by a brake. 
For experimental work with fans and draft, the College has eight fans, 
of which two are belt driven, four are direct-connected to motors, and two 
are driven by a steam engine. 

There are two 100-horsepower producer gas plants, which are used 
for experimental purposes. 

The hydraulic laboratory contains two hydraulic pits of 23,000 gallons 
capacity each, a system of piping for obtaining different heads of water, 



Division of Mechanic Arts 171 

two centrifugal pumps, two hydraulic rams, one Pelton water wheel, one 
Venturi water meter, one water motor, one Viking pump, two deep-well 
pumps, and many pieces of auxiliary apparatus, such as different kinds 
of weirs, scales, tanks, pressure, differential and hook gauges, ther- 
mometers, manometers, etc. The power for these machines is furnished 
by a 13-horsepower electric motor and a 12-horsepower oil engine. 

In the strength of material laboratory there is a 100,000-pound Riehle 
universal testing machine, upon which transverse specimens six feet in 
length can be tested. In connection with this machine there is a beam- 
testing apparatus, built at the College, which will test beams or concrete 
slabs up to two feet in width and fourteen feet in length. This apparatus 
can also be arranged to test cantilevers up to sixteen inches in width and 
twelve feet in length. There is a full equipment of cement- and concrete- 
testing machinery and apparatus. Part of this equipment has been built 
at the College, and is on a scale large enough to accommodate any speci- 
mens that can be handled in a laboratory. 

The roads materials laboratory contains a rattler for testing paving 
brick. For the testing of macadam rock there is a ball mill, abrasion 
machine, briquette forms, two impact machines, hardness-testing machine, 
diamond edge saw, core drill, and such auxiliary apparatus as scales, 
ovens, etc. There is also a torsion-testing machine, built at the College, 
which will handle specimens from % to 2% inches in diameter and up to 
eighteen feet in length. This machine can also be used to test the 
strength of gearing. 

The transmission laboratory contains transmission, absorption and 
traction dynamometers, a 1200-pound freight elevator, oil and bearing 
testing machine, large platform scales, screw and hydraulic jacks, differ- 
ential hoists, and many other small instruments for taking weights and 
measurements. An automobile testing plant is now under construction*.

as are necessary to show the location of boilers, stokers, engines, aux- 
iliaries, piping, chimneys, fans, coal-handling machinery, etc. The stu- 
dent makes, a careful study of load conditions, location of plant, and other 
details. No attempt is made to design apparatus, but standard makes 
are selected and the student shows in detail the methods of assembling 
and installing all the machinery and equipment used. The same prob- 
lem is assigned to the entire class, but during any one term there will 
be designs of several plants under way. The usual features of each 
design are taken up before the entire class, so that each student derives

Printing 

Acting Superintendent Kodell. 
Assistant Allen. 

The Department of Printing had its inception when The Kansas In- 
dustrialist was established, in 1875. The demands made upon the de- 
partment have necessitated a gradual increase in equipment and facili- 
ties, until at present it occupies the entire first floor and basement of 
Kedzie Hall. In addition to printing and mailing The Kansas Indus- 
trialist each week during the College year, the large amount of general 
printing for the numerous departments of the College furnishes a wide 
range of work and keeps the plant in constant operation during the 
entire twelve months. 

From the beginning, printing-trade practice has been offered to stu- 
dents, but more recently definite subjects in the art and practice of 
printing have been presented in systematic and orderly arrangement. 
In its course the department endeavors to impart a practical knowledge 
of the principles of typography, and in its execution of general printing 
to turn out as nearly perfect a product as the time allotted and the 
facilities of the plant will permit.

The work in the shops is planned to meet the needs of three classes 
of students: (1) those in the courses in agriculture who expect to use the 
skill gained in the shops in their after work on the farm; (2) those in the 
manual-training option of the course in general science who need to 
secure a sufficient knowledge of the principles underlying shop work, and 
sufficient skill in the performance of various operations, to be able to in- 
struct others; (3) those in the courses in engineering whose need is to 
secure a thorough knowledge of the methods of performing various kinds 
of shop work; of the machines best suited for the different purposes; of 
the amount of work that may be expected of the different machines and 
from the workmen under different conditions. With these students it is 
a secondary consideration to secure skill in the performance of the vari- 
ous operations. In order to secure these different results, it is considered 
desirable to separate these students, especially after the first few terms

lecting the course that he is to follow during the coming three years. 
These lectures are given by the heads of the different engineering de- 
partments, and discuss the fields of work open to graduates of the 
different courses, and the requirements that are necessary for a graduate 
to fill in order to handle the work of the various branches of engineering. 



Mechanic Arts in the Slimmer School 

The College has been unable to supply from its regular graduates all 
of the teachers in manual training required by the high schools of the 
State, and in order to encpurage the introduction of manual training and 
industrial drawing in all grades the College offers summer courses for 
teachers in manual training, agriculture, and domestic science. 

The work in drawing is an elementary course in free-hand and object 
drawing especially designed to assist teachers in the use of the state text 
in drawing. 

In manual training and shop practice several courses are offered, em- 
bracing different grades of work and different materials. One of these 
is for pupils in the primary grades, and includes weaving, cord work, 
raffia, reed work and cardboard construction. Other courses deal with 
woodworking for the grammar grades and for high schools. These in- 
clude not only a careful study of tools and processes, and practice in 
important exercises in joinery, but practical cabinet construction, wood 
turning, wood carving and inlaying, polishing and finishing. 

In metal work a course in forging includes practical exercises for 
high-school work, involving the operations of drawing, upsetting, welding, 
twisting, splitting and shaping. Sufficient instruction is given in the 
forging of tool steel to enable one to make and temper many of the tools 
needed in high-school work. Another course includes bench work and 
machine-tool work, and familiarizes the student with some of the funda- 
mental operations of a modern machine shop. 

A special circular giving further details of this work may be had upon 
application to the President of the College. See, also, article in this 
catalogue on the Summer School.

Engineering Fellowships 

The Board of Regents has recently established two fellowships in 
engineering. Each fellowship is two years in duration. The holder is 
expected to devote eleven months of the year to the work laid out, and 
receives from the College $450 annually. 

To be eligible for appointment, the applicant must be a graduate of a 
technical course of a school or college of recognized standing. Prefer- 
ence will be given to those who have had some commercial experience 
along the lines of research to be followed. 

The time will be divided approximately as follows: One-half the time 
will be devoted to the solution of some research problem; twenty to thirty 
per cent will be devoted to some problem in design, such problem being 
selected with a view to producing results of actual value in the near 
future; the remaining portion of the time will be devoted to assisting in 
laboratory, drafting room, or shops, as may seem desirable. 

Applications for fellowships should be made to the dean of the Division 
cf Mechanic Arts, and should state the lines of work that the applicant 
particularly desires to follow.

The philosophy which long ruled our educational policy has 
been so modified by research in the sciences and by devel- 
opment of the industries, arts, and professions, that it is now 
recognized that any perfected educational system must include 
technical training. It must encourage the student's natural 
desire for productive work — work in which there is a living 
connection between theory and practice. These broader views 
have been accepted by college and university men, and the 
result is noted in the success attained by combining industrial, 
technical, and scientific work with the general studies. The 
result is evidenced in the new courses of study for our young 
men and women. It is safe to assume that there are now but 
few educators who are so conservative as not to be in sym- 
pathy with the collegiate education in home training which is 
furnished by courses in home economics. 

The courses are designed to fit young women to be home 
makers and capable women in whatever sphere their life work 
may be. The training is both specific and general. While it 
emphasizes primarily the practical and material side of life, it 
does not stop here. The young women are constantly reminded 
that life is not drudgery; that technical knowledge and sci- 
entific skill, even, fail to include the full meaning of education 
in its highest sense. They are taught that any training that 
fails to develop harmoniously body, mind, and spirit is inade- 
quate and incomplete. They are brought face to face with 
ideals as well as with actualities, and are made to see that, 
while skillful labor gives dignity to life, grace, refinement, and 
self -poise are the highest requisites for true service. 

The training given is as varied as it is broad. It includes a 
knowledge of the laws of health, an understanding of the sani- 
tary requirements of the home ; the study of values, both abso- 
lute and relative, of the various articles (including food) that 
are used in the home; the wise expenditure of money, time, 
and energy; the scientific principles underlying the selection 
and preparation of food; the right care of children; and the 
ability to secure efficient service from others. Instruction is 
methodical and thorough, and is suited to the circumstances of 
the students. Experience shows that such training teaches 
contentment, industry, order, and cleanliness, and fosters a 
woman's independence and feeling of responsibility. 

The work in home economics includes : 



188 Kansas State Agricultural College 

A four-year course, leading to degree of bachelor of science. 
A three-year course in the School of Agriculture. 
A six-months housekeepers' course, for which a certificate of 
proficiency is granted. 

COURSE IN HOME ECONOMICS 

The popularity of the four-year home economics course is 
evidenced by the fact that fully eighty-five per cent of the girls 
who graduate from the College graduate from this course. 
The training is both general and specific. Since scientific 
training is fundamental in the intelligent and successful ad- 
ministration of the home, strong courses in the sciences are 
given as a foundation for the special training in home eco- 
nomics. To the end that well-rounded culture may be at- 
tained, courses in English, history, economics, and psychology 
receive, due prominence. The time of the student is about 
equally divided among the purely technical subjects, the fun- 
damental sciences, and the cultural studies. The courses in 
the related subjects are given in the different departments 
of the College, while the technical courses are given by the 
home economics departments. In the junior and senior years 
opportunity is given for choice of electives, which makes it 
possible for the student to specialize in some chosen line. To 
this end electives are to be chosen in groups combined logically 
in courses approved by the Faculty or by the student's dean. 

The four-year course is recommended for all who desire to 
teach domestic science or domestic art. It is with difficulty 
that the home economics training schools meet the demand for 
well-prepared teachers, a demand which is increasing more 
rapidly each year. The College does not assume the responsi- 
bility of insuring employment to graduates, but the latter 
rarely experience difficulty in obtaining remunerative posi- 
tions as instructors in domestic science or in domestic art, as 
dietitians, or as professional housekeepers.

Technically, domestic science is an application of the science of bacte- 
riology to the study of home sanitation and hygiene; of physiology and 
chemistry to the composition of foods and their effect upon the human 
body; of physics as applied to heating and lighting. Since the home is 
dependent upon the sciences of chemistry, physiology, and bacteriology, 
and the application of these to hygiene, direct use of the principles of these 
sciences is made in the lessons in cookery, dietetics home nursing, and 
household management. In the kitchen laboratory a standard system of 
measurement is taught, and constant emphasis is laid upon neatness, ac- 
curacy, and economy in the handling of materials and utensils. Science, 
applied science, and practice are presented in their proper relations, so 
that the student who completes these courses gains not only a theoretical 
knowledge of the principles underlying the profession of home making, 
but experience in applying them.

Housekeepers' Course in Home Economics 

There are large numbers of young women who, from lack of time, 
are unable to take an extended course, but who recognize the need for 
special training in home making. The twentieth century demands of 
home managers an understanding of the sanitary requirements of the 
home, a knowledge of values, absolute and relative, of the articles used 
in the house, quick attention to details, good judgment in buying, and a 
ready adaptation of means to the end in view. The purpose of the 
housekeepers' course is to furnish this training. The teaching in this 
course is no less accurate than in the regular course, but is necessarily 
different. Given to students without scientific training, the instruction 
must be more largely a presentation of facts, without an elaboration 
of the underlying principles. The work is intensely practical, and the 
hundreds of young women who take this course go back to their homes 
with a broader view of life, and a knowledge and training that will 
enable them to meet their responsibilities. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 

Young women between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one are ad- 
mitted upon presentation of common-school diploma, grammar-school 
certificate, or high-school diploma, or upon passing an examination in 
the following subjects: reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, grammar, 
geography, physiology, and United States history. Young women over 
twenty-one are admitted without examination.

SUBJECTS TAUGHT IN HOUSEKEEPERS' COURSE 

Cookery I. Fall term, ten hours. 

A laboratory course. Stoves, stove construction, stove management, 
and fuels are the first topics considered, and are followed by experiments 
illustrating the effect of heat upon starch and proteids. The necessary 
elementary principles involved are then applied to the cooking of cereals, 
vegetables, beverages, breads, meats, soups, and simple cake mixtures 
and puddings. 

Sewing. Fall term. Laboratory, twelve hours. 

This course covers a full course in hand sewing; practice in the funda- 
mental stitches being applied to simple articles, consisting of a bag, 
towel, patching, and darning, etc. The appropriate materials and trim- 
mings for undergarments are discussed; sewing machine problems and 
their attachments; pattern drafting; cutting and making corset cover, 
drawers, underskirt, and shirt-waist suit. 

Materials used may be of cotton or linen. The student furnishes all 
her materials. 



196 Kansas State Agricultural College 

Color and Design. Fall term, six hours. 

A laboratory course in simple designing and in studying color rela- 
tions, with special reference to problems in the home. 

Cookery II. Winter term, twelve hours. 

A laboratory course. The work of the term is divided into three 
parts. Four weeks are given to the planning and serving of meals; 
four weeks to the study of diet in relation to disease, with the prepara- 
tion of suitable food; and four weeks to canning, preserving, and the 
making of salads, cakes, pastries, and desserts. 

Home Nursing. Winter term, two hours. 

This^ course includes the study of the sick room and its care and 
furnishing, and the duties of the home nurse in giving intelligent assist- 
ance to the physician, and in contributing to the comfort of the sick. 
This involves also the ability to recognize and report symptoms correctly; 
to relieve pain; to give baths; to change bedding; to disinfect; and to 
treat wounds, burns, and sprains, as well as to meet successfully other 
emergencies that may arise in the home. 

Dressmaking. Winter term. Laboratory, eight hours. 

This course includes practice in the following: Adaptation of pat- 
terns, cutting, fitting, and making a cloth dress and fancy waist. The 
student furnishes all her materials. 

Floriculture, Winter term. Class work, two hours; laboratory, one 
hour. 

Lectures in the classroom are supplemented by practical exercises 
in the greenhouse, dealing with the propagation and culture of flowers. 
Soil requirements, the planting of seeds, transplanting, cultivation, the 
making of cuttings, the selection of varieties adapted to the purposes of 
window gardening, lawn planting and cutting, are discussed in the lec- 
tures. An opportunity to become acquainted with the species recom- 
mended> and with the operations necessary for their successful culture, 
is afforded in the laboratory practice. 

HOME ECONOMICS IN THE SUMMER SCHOOL 

In addition to instruction in various branches of home economics 
available to many teachers in the spring term, the College offers, several 
courses in this subject during the summer session. Instruction in these 
courses is intended to represent correctly that which may be introduced 
successfully into graded schools and high schools. Students will be 
enrolled upon presentation of a teacher's certificate, or of a certified 
statement showing that two years' high-school work or its equivalent 
has been completed. 

The general subject of the presentation of home economics is one of 
the courses offered. Here attention is given to the application of the 
general principles of teaching to the teaching of domestic science and 
domestic art, to the planning of lesson and course outlines, and to the- 
equipment of laboratories for grade schools and high schools. . 

In the courses in domestic science the preparation of food is discussed 
in its different phases, and the principles studied in the classroom are 
amply illustrated in the laboratory demonstrations. 

In the courses in domestic art, the theory of hand and machine sew- 
ing, making shirt-waists suits, and drafting and designing is taught and 
given ample laboratory demonstration. ' 

A special circular giving in detail the courses offered in the Summer 
School may be had by applying to the President of the College. See, 
also, the article on Summer School in this catalogue.

Julius Terrass Willard, Dean, 



In the class of colleges to which this institution belongs, the 
classical studies of the older type of college are replaced by 
work in the sciences and in vocational subjects. A sound basis 
for technical training includes thorough training in mathe- 
matics, physical science, and biological science. It is believed 
also that education should include some preparation for the 
discharge of one's duties to the state and to the community in 
which he lives. It should afford him that discipline and cul- 
ture which alone can give him a grasp of the relations among 
things, a breadth of view, a tolerant attitude, and hence an 
influence oveE his associates and fellow citizens of every sta- 
tion in life. 

It is the province of the departments grouped in this divi- 
sion of the* College to give this basal scientific, cultural, and 
disciplinary training. Their work is not only foundational, 
but it penetrates through all the characteristic vocational 
courses of the institution, as the structural steel of the modern- 
skyscraper penetrates the entire building and forms a secure 
framework and support for the parts more readily visible. 
These departments- thus give unity to all of the four-year 
courses of study, although presenting but two courses that 
are distinctive of their own work. These, however, by means 
of electives and options, are susceptible of manifold modifica- 
tion and application. 

THE COURSE IN GENERAL SCIENCE 

The course in general science is the lineal descendant of the 
single course formerly offered here. It includes the funda- 
mental training in English, mathematics, science, history, eco- 
nomics, military drill, and physical culture required in the 
several specialized vocational courses now offered by the Col- 
lege and chosen by the great body of our students. Its re- 
quired subjects constitute the central educational basis of the 
institution. By means of a number of groups of electives, it 
gives an opportunity to students to advance themselves still 
further in these fundamental lines and to give special at- 
tention to some instead of taking the vocational subjects 
characterizing other courses. This opportunity meets the need 
of several types of young people, among whom are : (1) Those 
who have not yet fully decided as to their vocation, but who 
wish an education that is strong and well balanced in respect 
to modern science and cultural subjects, as a foundation for 
further education or as a preparation for sound citizenship 



198 Kansas State Agricultural College 

and intellectual satisfaction in life. (2) Those who are look- 
ing forward to teaching in the high schools of the State. The 
electives offered allow one to give special attention to mathe- 
matics, physical science, biological science, elementary agri- 
culture, elementary domestic science and art, history, eco- 
nomics, English, and professional educational subjects. (3) 
Those who are fitting themselves for research work in the 
sciences, especially as applied to agriculture, engineering, and 
other industries. 

The elective groups offered in this course are to a consid- 
erable extent made up of studies required in one or more of 
the specialized courses. They provide also, however, advanced 
work not included in other courses. The scientific work in con- 
nection with the Agricultural and Engineering Experiment 
Stations, and several fields of State investigation and service, 
calls for the operation of unusually well-equipped departments 
in the sciences, and excellent facilities for practical training 
in this work are thus afforded. 

While the course in general science offers a wide choice of 
electives, these may not be selected aimlessly, or with the idea 
of choosing the easiest, or of obtaining credit for miscellane- 
ous subjects taken elsewhere or in other courses. The studies 
of the freshman and sophomore years are basal and are re- 
quired of all, without exception. They insure a broad and 
adequate foundation for subsequent work in the several lines 
of electives. The electives are to be chosen in groups, com- 
bined logically in courses approved by the Faculty or by the 
dean of the Division of General Science. Students chariging 
from other courses to the course in general science receive 
credit for work done in the other courses in so far as it fits 
into the general plan of this one. 

The course in general science in the junior and senior years 
requires of all students civics, American history, economics, 
psychology, and philosophy. This gives opportunity for the 
election of twenty-two or more additional studies. Not fewer 
than ninety credit units are to be chosen in groups, in such a 
manner as to give logical coherence to the course as a whole. 
The elective portion of the course, as thus made up, will con- 
sist for the most part of several groups of three full studies 
or their equivalent. It is possible to include one group of three 
studies and a single additional study that may be advanta- 
geously taken without others. For a few courses special com- 
binations in sewing, cooking, and shop work have been planned 
to meet the needs of prospective teachers of manual training. 
If vocational subjects are elected from courses in which a 
greater number of credits are required for graduation than 
are required in the course in general science, these are evalu- 
ated in this course as being in the same ratio toward the total 
requirement as they are in the courses from which the sub- 
jects are chosen. 

The course in general science is thus many in one. Such 



Division of General Science 199 

various combinations of groups are possible that it is not 
practicable to print all of them in extended form. There are, 
therefore, formally presented herewith the required subjects 
of the course in their specified order by years and terms, to- 
gether with a considerable number of groups of electives. 
Finally, combinations of these groups that have been ap- 
proved are indicated by means of numbers assigned to the 
several groups. Other combinations may be arranged* 

THE COURSE IN INDUSTRIAL JOURNALISM 

Knowledge is power only as it comes into the possession of 
those who can use it ; it gives pleasure in direct proportion to* 
the extent of its diffusion. A discovery is of but little value as* 
long as the discoverer is the only one who knows of its exist- 
ence, and the printed page is by far the most effective means 
of extending knowledge concerning it. Magazines and news- 
papers never sleep, nor do they take vacations, and their 
power to elevate mankind is incalculable. But printed knowl- 
edge becomes effective only as it is read, and to be read in this 
day it must stand out from the great mass of other matter, 
and gain the attention and hold the interest of the reader. To 
do this, its points must be sharp and easily seen, and the style 
must be attractive. On the other hand, if the presentation is 
not essentially true, the more attractive it is the worse it is, 
and the greater the harm that follows wide reading of it. 

The purpose of the course in industrial journalism is to 
equip men and women with fundamental knowledge, that they 
may both recognize that which is new, and distinguish truth 
from falsehood ; to enable them to set a proper valuation upon 
facts as related to the industrial world, that the emphasis of 
their writings may be properly placed; and to write clear, 
accurate, forceful, entertaining English. 

A writer might advantageously know everything ; this being 
impossible and the field being so broad, this course as offered 
by the College includes, in the first place, studies that are 
basic to all industrial life and its presentation — English, his- 
tory, economics, physics, chemistry, the biological sciences, 
etc., and two years in the theory and practice of effective 
writing and publication. In the second place, this course 
gives opportunity for choice of elective groups of subjects 
directed towards agriculture, mechanic arts, home economics, 
or general science. Thus, a student may elect subjects that 
will give special knowledge concerning farm crops, live stock, 
horticulture, forestry, mechanic arts, home economics, etc. 

The College thus affords preparation for work in a wide 
and inviting field. Our unprecedented industrial achievements 
have been made by the application of discoveries in physical 
and biological science. Much of discovery, and much of appli- 
cation, is yet to come, and one who can write truthfully and 
attractively of that which is, and of that which comes, will 
find ample reward.

Bacteriology 

Professor Bushnell. 
Instructor Hunter. 
Assistant Jackley. 

Assistant . 



The Department of Bacteriology occupies a part of the first and second 
floors of Veterinary Hall. The space is divided into offices and private 
laboratories, an experiment station and research laboratory, two large 
general laboratories, incubator or temperature room, wash room, and 
stock room. The laboratories are well lighted and equipped with gas, 
lockers, ice chests, sterilizers, wall cases, microscopes, and other modern 
facilities necessary for bacteriological work. 

The instruction consists of lectures, recitations, demonstrations, and 
laboratory practice. Printed synopses of the lectures, and printed lab- 
oratory directions, are furnished the students in some of the courses; in 
others, textbooks are required. The departmental library contains text- 
books on bacteriology and allied subjects, also the current files of the 
important technical periodicals relating to bacteriology. These are at 
the constant disposal of the students for reference. To those who desire 
graduate work, the department offers excellent facilities. 

Bacteriology is presented to the student as a biological science, and as 
a practical factor in everyday life. In this subject only the simplest 
forms of life, consisting almost invariably of one-celled organisms, are 
studied. At the present time it is possible to study these microscopical 
forms with ease and accuracy, thus paving the way for a more complete 
study and a better understanding of cells in the aggregate. The second 
point of view from which this subject is approached is that of its prac- 
tical application in agriculture, medicine, domestic science, and sanitary 
engineering.

Assistant Jehle. 
Assistant Lodge. 

The instruction given in the Department of Botany has a threefold 
purpose : 

First, general training in botany as an observational science, familiar- 
izing the student with the meaning and relations of the manifold forms 
of plants, and the principles governing their life-processes. For those 
who wish to pursue the subject of botany professionally, excellent oppor- 
tunities are offered to secure a broad and thorough training in the ad- 
vanced courses given by the department. 

Second, the importance of a scientific knowledge of the laws of plant 
life being fundamental in agriculture, it is sought in the elementary 



210 Kansas State Agricultural College 

courses to provide such training as will generally fit the minds of agri- 
cultural students to grasp the underlying meaning of familiar field work 
with crops; such training, moreover, as may be built upon in a carefully 
graded series of advanced courses. 

The third phase of the work of the Department of Botany lies in the 
investigation of those economic problems in plant life which affect agri- 
culture. Three distinct general lines of work in botany and plant breed- 
ing are being conducted in the Experiment Station: experimental plant 
breeding; the investigation, prevention and control of plant diseases; 
physiological investigations in drouth resistance; and seed control, L e., 
the determination of the purity and vitality of agricultural seeds for 
farmers, seedsmen, and others. 

The equipment for elementary instruction comprises thirty compound 
and sixty-four simple microscopes, a series of Jung, Peter, Kny, and 
Frank botanical charts, a Bausch & Lomb projection apparatus, and a 
very full collection of preserved material for general morphology and 
pathology. For advanced work, Zeiss and Spencer microscopes with 
apochromatic lenses, a filar micrometer, a Bausch & Lomb camera lucida, 
a Zeiss drawing table, a Zeiss binocular microscope, and Bausch & Lomb 
simple microscopes of the highest grade, provided with special camera 
lucida attachment, are furnished for the use of the members of the staff 
and graduate students. A Minot precision microtome, Spencer microtome, 
embedding and sterilizing ovens, and the usual supplies of reagents and 
glassware, are provided for histological study. 

In physiology, a complete equipment of the Ganong and the Cambridge 
lines of physiological apparatus and supplies is available. A large, well- 
equipped dark room, provided with a Folmer & Schwing enlarging, 
reducing and lantern-slide camera, a field camera of the best type, and a 
Bausch & Lomb photomicrographic apparatus, affords opportunity for 
the preparation of botanical photographs, lantern slides, illustrations for 
bulletins, etc. 

In the Experiment Station laboratory are kept various instruments of 
precision employed in quantitative work in plant-breeding investigations, 
including special forms of apparatus used for taking measurements of 
organs, a specially designed gravimeter, an improved colorimeter, an Egli 
calculating machine, a Comptograph adding machine, a Corelli polar 
planimeter, specific gravity apparatus, numerous balances, the usual 
glassware, etc. 

For general botanical reference there is an excellent herbarium, espe- 
cially complete for the state of Kansas, and a very full collection of 
economic fungi. A very good botanical library is available, containing 
the usual standard texts and reference works, and files of the principal 
foreign journals.

hour; laboratory, six hours. Four credits. Elective in the course in gen- 
eral science. Prerequisite: General Botany. 

This course is designed to give biological students a broad training in 
the systematic relationships chiefly of the flowering plants. Practice is 
acquired in the use of manuals or keys to floras, and the student is taught 
especially to recognize the morphological characters which distinguish 
the principal orders, families and genera of the angiosperms. The course 
is designed to be a strictly practical one, its purpose being to equip the 
student with the necessary data for recognizing at sight a large number 
of the plants of the field, mainly of the higher groups, although some 
attention is also paid to the identification of ferns, mosses, and liver- 
worts, and of the commoner algae and fungi. Lectures and reference 
reading. 

Laboratory, — The identification, by means of standard manuals .and 
floras, of a large number of native and exotic plants. Considerable field 
practice is required, and attention is directed to differences in structure 
which the same species may show under different environments. An 
endeavor is made to train the student's mind to a broad, comprehensive 
•conception of species, characters, using manuals merely as convenient

All of the industries are becoming more and more dependent for their 
highest success upon intelligent application of the sciences, and the special 
sciences are making their greatest progress by tracing their phenomena 
back to the physical and chemical changes that accompany them. A study 
of chemistry and physics is therefore essential to any understanding of 
the processes of nature or of human industry. In the instruction- in 
chemistry, the aim is to insist upon a mastery of the chief concepts of the 
pure science through the agency of textbook drill, accompanied by demon- 
strations in the lecture room, and experimental observations by the stu- 
dent himself in the laboratory. As the course proceeds, illustrations of 
chemical principles are drawn from the industrial processes of the chem- 
ical, agricultural, domestic, and other arts, thus impressing upon the 
mind the practical nature of the study. The ultimate object of instruc- 
tion in this science is to develop in the student the power to form inde- 
pendent judgments upon the manifold problems of daily life in which 
chemistry plays a part. 

The lecture rooms are amply equipped for experiments and demon- 
strations, and the laboratories are designed to accommodate 800 students 
per term in freshman work and qualitative analysis. The laboratories 
for more advanced work provide space for 100 students, and are well 
supplied with general and special facilities. The State work in foods, 
feeding stuffs, and fertilizers, and the chemical investigations of the 
Experiment Station in soils, crops, animal nutrition, etc., afford un- 
usually good opportunities for students to obtain experience in practical 
chemistry.

COURSES IN CHEMISTRY 

1. — Chemistry I. Lectures and recitations, three hours; laboratory, 
two hours. Four credits. Required in all courses. 

This term's work begins the study of elementary inorganic chemistry, 
and includes a study of the elements oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine, and their 
compounds, this being accompanied by theoretical treatment of the sub- 
jects of matter, energy, properties of gases, chemical law and theory, 
solution, electrolytic dissociation, acids, bases, and salts, and chemical 
change as related to light, heat, and electricity. It is designed, with the 
succeeding terms, to give the student a knowledge of the fundamental 
principles of chemistry. As all subsequent progress in this science re- 
quires a working knowledge of its principal theoretical conceptions, the 
principles of nomenclature, the significance of formulas, chemical equa- 
tions, etc., much attention is given to these, while at the same time the 
practical uses of the substances, and the processes used in metallurgy, 
engineering, agriculture, and other arts are emphasized. NewelFs Inor- 
ganic Chemistry for Colleges is used, this term's work covering the first 

209 pages. The text is supplemented by lectures and is amply illustrated 
by experimental demonstrations. 

Laboratory. — As far as time permits, the student performs inde- 
pendently experiments touching the preparation and properties of the 
more important substances. Preference is given to those" operations which 
illustrate important principles, and the student is required, as far as pos- 
sible, to study experiments in that light. In this, as in all other labora- 
tory work in chemistry, the objects are to ilhistrate chemical phenomena 
and to teach care in manipulation, attentive observation, logical deduction, 
and discrimination and accuracy in recording results and conclusions. The 
student is required to give the designated amount of time, and a minimum 
amount of work must be satisfactorily performed in order to obtain credit. 
Laboratory Exercises in Elementary Chemistry , by William McPherson, 
is used as the laboratory guide. 

2. — Chemistry II. Lectures and recitations, two hours; laboratory, 
four hours. Four credits. Required in all courses. 

The work under this head is a continuation of the study of elementary 
inorganic chemistry, and includes the elements nitrogen, carbon, sulphur, 
and their compounds, and a consideration of atomic weights, valence, and 
the classification of the elements. These subjects are included in pages 

210 to 355 of Newell's Inorganic Chemistry for Colleges. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work of this term is a continuation of 
that begun in the preceding term. 

3. — Chemistry III. Lectures and recitations, three hours; laboratory, 
two hours. Four credits. Required in all courses. 

This work completes the study of elementary inorganic chemistry be- 
gun in the preceding terms, and includes the consideration of fluorine, 
bromine, iodine, silicon, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and the metals. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work in this course is a beginning in 
qualitative analysis, for which Mcpherson's Elementary Treatise on 
Qualitative Analysis is used as the guide. 

4. — Qualitative Analysis. Sophomore year, fall and winter terms. 
Lecture, two hours; laboratory, four hours. Four credits. Required in 
the courses in agriculture, veterinary medicine, home economics, and 
general science. Prerequisite: Chemistry III. 

In this course the prime object is to increase the student's knowledge 
of chemistry as a whole. The standard methods of analytical chemistry 
are made the basis of a systematic study of the chemical properties of the 
most important metals, nonmetals, acids, bases, and salts. The teaching 
of analysis as such is a secondary object, although the rtudent is held to 



216 ' Kansas State Agricultural College 

the exact observations and careful reasoning required in ascertaining the 
composition of single substances and mixtures. The exercises, which are 
outlined in a special pamphlet, include a review of the more important 
topics of inorganic chemistry, in which natural occurrence of elements and 
compounds, industrial chemical processes, and analytical reactions are 
seen to be closely connected. The exercises are so arranged as to pass 
from the simpler to the more difficult ones, and at the same time to 
facilitate the comparative study of the several cations and anions. The 
theories of chemistry receive constant application. The effect of the course 
is to broaden, strengthen, and unify the student's ideas of general chem- 
istry, to enlarge greatly his knowledge of chemical facts, and at the same 
time to fix many of them in his mind by associating them with the re- 
actions made use of in analytical processes. 

Laboratory. — The regular methods of qualitative analysis serve as a 
basis for a laboratory study of the chemical properties of substances. 
Laboratory manual, Qualitative Analysis, by W. A. Noyes. 

5, — Elementary Organic Chemistry. Sophomore year, winter term. 
Lectures and recitations, four hours. Four credits. Required in the 
courses in agriculture, home economics, and general science. Prerequisite : 
Chemistry III. 

A systematic study is made of the simpler examples of the more im- 
portant classes of organic compounds in their logical chemical relations. 
Such substances as touch the everyday affairs of life are treated in 
greater detail. Opportunity is thus afforded to consider the hydro- 
carbons, alcohols, organic acids, fats, soap, sugars, starch, proteids, and 
other less known substances. Compounds used for clothing, food, fuel, 
light, antiseptics, disinfectants, anesthetics, poisons, medicines, solvents, 
etc., are included. While especial attention is given to the useful organic 
compounds, the study of others is not excluded, when they contribute to 
an understanding of the systematc relations existing among the several 
groups. Any serious study of the biological sciences, or of the arts con- 
nected with them, must require this as a foundation, and a knowledge of 
the properties of organic compounds finds frequent application in en- 
gineering as well. The subject is amply illustrated by experiments in 
the lecture room. Text, Remsen's Organic Chemistry, in part, accom- 
panied by lectures amplifying certain parts of the subject. 

6. — Agricultural Chemistry. Sophomore year, spring term, and 
junior year, fall term. Class work, two hours. Two credits. Required 
in the course in agriculture. Prerequisite: Qualitative Analysis. 

The work of this term consists chiefly of a detailed study of the 
application of chemistry to agricultural problems, with especial reference 
to the income and outgo of the elements which determine success or failure 
in crop production, and hence the agricultural prosperity of a country. 
The following topics are among those included: the atmosphere, the soil, 
natural waters, plants, farm manures, commercial fertilizers, crops, feeds, 
and animal products. Text, General Agricultural Chemistry, by Hart and 
Tottingham. 

7. — Quantitative Analysis I. Sophomore year, spring term, or 
junior year, fall term. Laboratory, four hours. Two . credits. Required 
in the course in agriculture; elective in others. Prerequisite: Qualita- 
tive Analysis. 

This consists of simple quantitative exercises, which are planned to 
give the student a knowledge of the simpler operations in quantitative 
analysis, as ' well as to lay the foundation for studies in which such 
knowledge is required. Quantitative analysis is at the basis of many 
investigations connected with agriculture, and the course is designed not 
only to increase the student's knowledge of chemistry, but to give him 
an appreciation of the value of exact quantitative w$rk.

Economics 

Professor Kammeyer. 
Instructor 



Vocational training alone does not fully prepare a student for his life's 
work, nor for the acceptable discharge of his duties as a citizen. It is 
necessary that he should have at least a general knowledge of the social 
and economic conditions under which he works, in order that he may bene- 
fit society as well as himself. The State needs men and women trained 
for citizenship, and it is the purpose of this department to plan and to 
direct its work with this need in view.

Ability to use language accurately, clearly and concisely is an essential 
part of the training of every educated person. The work of the Depart- 
ment of the English Language is to acquaint the student with the best 
standards of English practice, and to . encourage him to maintain these 
standards in all his work. To this end the department offers studies in 
cultural and technical English and special drills in expressing thought 
freely and effectively in matters touching the vital interests of the 
student. The study of the English language is thus made the means of 
increasing the power and efficiency, and consequently the capacity for 
enjoyment, of the individual. It is the aim of the department, in co- 
operation with the technical departments of the College, to increase the 
knowledge and usefulness of the young workers of the State. 

COURSES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE 

1. — English I. Freshman year, each term. Class work, four hours- 
Pour credits. Required in all courses. Prerequisite: Graduation from 
a fully accredited high school, with three units in English, or the 
equivalent. 

During the first week of the course, the student is given a series 
of classroom exercises to test his fitness to pursue the work of the course. 
Following these exercises, the student is given a rapid, thorough review 
of the essentials of English, followed by essays on simple themes designed 
to develop his ability to tell accurately and interestingly what he knows 
and to describe creditably what he sees. The chief object of the course 
is to enable the student to use clear-cut, correct English, to express his 
thoughts readily, accurately, and precisely on topics of vital human in- 
terest. Special consultations are held with all students, and special 
supplementary drills are given to all who need additional help.

addition, special work in outlining, practical work in abstracting, di- 
rected library investigations, reference and bibliography work, are re- 
quired in order to assist each student to write and to speak effectively 
along the line of his own special interests and needs. Special drills 
in readiness and flexibility of thought-expression will be given by re- 
quiring a great deal of extemporaneous writing in the classroom. So 
far as possible, the work will be so arranged as to adapt itself to the 
special needs of the students of the several divisions.

English Literature 

Professor Brink. 

Assistant Professor Beall. 

Acting Assistant Professor McDonald. 

An ultimate purpose of the instruction in literature is to train stu- 
dents in the art of effective writing. No better way has yet been found 
for the accomplishment of such an end than the study and emulation of 
the great writers of the language. The courses seek to give the student 
an understanding of the nature and characteristics of literature in its 
leading forms, to develop in him a taste for noble expression and a 
desire to attain high ideals in his own writings, to develop in him the 
ability to judge with confidence the literary qualities of any given work, 
and through sympathetic study of masterpieces to give him some idea of 
the leading authors. 

In most of the courses in literature the work is pursued by means of a 
combination of lectures, classroom study, and seminary investigation, 
accompanied, of course, by frequent written reports for criticism and dis- 
cussion. The literature is read at first hand, and the student is required 
to interpret for himself as far as possible, with the idea that it is more 
profitable for him to know an author than to know what some one has 
said about that author. The extensive and intensive methods are com- 
bined — wide reading to obtain literary atmosphere and breadth of view; 
critical study to develop accuracy and insight.

Division of General Science 225 



Entomology 

Professor Dean. 
Instructor Tanquary. 
Instructor Merrill. 
Assistant McColloch. 

In all courses a special effort is made to make the student realize that 
he is studying living things which form a part of his daily environment, 
and upon which his welfare in many cases vitally depends. In courses 
in which both class and laboratory instruction is given, the closest cor- 
relation is striven for, and wherever possible the same form is studied 
simultaneously in laboratory and class. The student is led to integrate 
his classroom knowledge with local animal life by means of frequent and 
carefully planned field excursions, and by the free use of vivaria in lab- 
oratory and museum. The courses offered are intended to awaken in the 
student a keen appreciation of the general principles underlying insect 
life, of the life economy of the more beneficial as well as of the more in- 
jurious species, and of the general principles governing methods for their 
control. 

Standard anatomical charts, a representative collection (especially of 
local species), a high-grade lantern for the projection of lantern and 
microscope slides, a large and excellent series of lantern slides (many of 
them colored) , and a series of microscope slides are available for illustra- 
tion. (The lantern is used also for zoology and geology.) Compound and 
dissecting microscopes sufficient for the needs of laboratory classes have 
been provided. 

COURSES IN ENTOMOLOGY. 

1. — General Entomology. Junior year, spring term. Class work, 
three hours; laboratory, two hours. Four credits. Required in the agri- 
cultural courses. Prerequisites: General Zoology I and II. 

This is a study of the elementary anatomy and physiology of insects, 
complete enough to give a thorough understanding of the life history 
and habits of the most important species and the general principles upon 
which the control of these economic forms is based. It is a study of the 
more important general facts about insects as a class; the main characters 
of the different orders and groups; how they have fitted themselves to 
survive and multiply; and how the structure and habits of one group 
render it susceptible to certain measures of control, while in other groups 
entirely different measures are necessary. The class work consists of 
lectures and of text and special reference study. 

2. — Insect Morphology. Senior year, fall term. Class work, one 
hour; laboratory, six hours. Four credits. Elective in the courses in 
agriculture and general science. Prerequisite: General Entomology. 

This is a study of the external anatomy of insects belonging to all the 
larger and more important orders and of the internal anatomy of one or 
two types. 

3. — Horticultural Entomology. Senior year, winter term. Class 
work, two hours. Two credits. Elective in the course in agriculture. 
Prerequisite: General Entomology. 

This is a study of the most important insect pests ' of orchard, garden, 
and forest, and of standard methods for controlling their ravages. The 
class work consists of lectures and the study of references.

4. — Household Entomology. Senior year, winter term. Class work, 
two hours. Two credits. Required in the course in home economics. 
Prerequisites: General Zoology I and II. 

This is a study of the elementary structure and physiology of insects 
complete enough to give a clear understanding of the life history, habits 
and methods of control of the principal insects injurious to house, garden, 
lawn, and human health. The course consists of reference study and a 
series of lectures. 

5. — Taxonomy of Insects. Elective, winter term. Laboratory, eight 
hours. Four credits. Elective in the course in general science. Prereq- 
uisites: General Entomology and Insect Morphology. 

This is a study of the general principles of the classification of repre- 
sentative insect forms. The purpose of this course is so to familiarize the 
student with the literature, methods, and ideals of classification that he 
will be able expeditiously to identify forms unknown to him and to pursue 
advanced taxonomic studies. 

6. — General Economic Entomology. Elective, spring term. Class 
work, three hours; laboratory, two hours. Four credits. Elective in the 
course in general science. 

This is a study of the life economy of the more important economic 
insects, of methods to be used in dealing with them, and of the literature 
of economic entomology. The student is made familiar with our present 
knowledge of the most important of our injurious insects, with the sources 
of economic literature, and with methods commonly used in the investiga- 
tion of problems in economic entomology. The class work consists of 
lectures, and of text and special reference reading. Prerequisite: Gen- 
eral Entomology. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work consists of the formation and study 
of a collection of injurious insects, and in insect breeding. This w@rk 
naturally involves much field study, in the course of which the student 
gains a first-hand acquaintance with the more important injurious insects 
at home in nature. 

7. — Research in Entomology. The special student approaching grad- 
uation, if willing and capable, is drawn into the research work of the 
Experiment Station during the summer vacation, and during his last 
school year is encouraged to undertake the solution of a problem of his 
own. By this means his information is integrated with the practical prob- 
lems which he must later meet. Prerequisites : General Entomology, and 
General Economic Entomology. 



Geology 

Professor Nabours. 
Instructor Newman. 

By use of abundant illustrative material, a special effort is made to 
make the student realize that he is dealing with natural forces which 
intimately affect his own well-being and that of his fellows. So far 
as conditions permit, the agencies that have made the earth what it is 
are observed and studied in the field. The purpose of these courses is 
to arouse in the student an appreciation of the general principles under- 
lying the structure and formation of the earth. 

Some charts, a large and excellent series of lantern slides, a repre- 
sentative collection of fossils and minerals, and a surrounding country 
exhibiting considerable variety of hill and valley, are available for 
illustrative purposes.

Engineers, by R. F. Sorsbie. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work comprises the observation and de- 
scription of such structural and dynamic features as the locality affords, 
and a study of the principal rocks, and their mineral constituents. 



German 

Professor Cortelyou. 
Instructor Heilman. 

In whatever direction the modern student turns fti's- energies, a prac- 
tical knowledge of German is found to be very useful — often quite in- 
dispensable. In the sciences, in the arts, and in literature, much of the 
newest and best work appears in German, so that he who would 
keep abreast of the times is forced to acquire at least the rudiments of the 
language. It is desired that the work of this department shall be as 
practical as possible, without, however, failing to encourage a fondness 
for German literature. The plan of instruction in general is a combina- 
tion of the grammatical and conversational methods, each of which has 
its own special advantages. 

A number of literary and scientific periodicals published in German 
are received by the College library, and afford the student a practical 
opportunity to amplify his knowledge of the language as derived in the 
classroom. 

COURSES IN GERMAN 

1. — Elementary German I. Sophomore year, fall or winter term. 
Class work, four hours. Four credits. Required in the course in home 
economics; elective in other courses. 

After two periods given to the acquisition of the sounds of the 
German letters, the student at once begins reading. Vocabularies are 
learned from the outset, while grammar is acquired gradually through 
reading. Oral and written work and simple conversational exercises 
begin with the first reading lesson. In the work of this term there is 
included the study of articles, prepositions, declensions of pronouns, the 
indicative mode of the verb, and sentence order. Frequent reviews enable 
the student to digest the facts presented, while the abundant conversation 
and written work subserves the same end. Text, Becker and Rhoades* 
Elements of German (first twenty-five lessons). 



228 Kansas State Agricultural College 

2.— Elementary German II. Sophomore year, each term. Class 
work, four hours. Four credits. Required in the course in home eco-

The remaining important points of grammar are studied. Students 
are repeatedly drilled on the grammatical constructions already em- 
phasized in Elementary German I. The general plan of the work is the 
same as in the preceding term. Essential facts of grammar are insisted 
upon, but German is taught as a living language. Conversational exer- 
cises in German and written translations from English into German are 
frequent. Text, Becker and Rhoades' Elements of German (completed).

head of the department. 



History and Civics 

Professor Price. 
Instructor Taylor. 
Instructor Iles. 
Instructor JAMES. 
Assistant Reynolds. 
Assistant Gordon. 

The Department of History and Civics offers nineteen different courses, 
as described below. Six of these are offered in the vocational schools, 
and are to be taken in the order designated, theugh each of these sub- 
jects is taught practically every term. The department is well equipped 
with maps and charts, and has, all things considered, an unusually strong 
library. 

Training for citizenship, breadth of view, historic-mindedness, fairness 
of judgment, and general culture are constant aims of each course offered 
by the Department of History and Civics. As a result of the training 
received in these courses, the student is better prepared to understand 
and appreciate the institutions in the midst of which he lives and of 
which he is a part. He is also prepared to act more wisely his part as a 
leader in good citizenship wherever his lot may be cast. 

COURSES IN HISTORY 

1.— Advanced English History. Freshman or sophomore year, 
spring term. Class work, four hours. Four credits. Required in the 
courses in industrial journalism and general science; elective in the course 
in home economics. 



230 Kansas State Agricultural College 

This course traces the story of the growth of England from the Britain 
of the earliest time to the British empire of to-day. The political history 
is clearly traced, but emphasis is laid upon the constitutional develop- 
ment, and the practical working of the present government is carefully 
studied. Much emphasis is given to the industrial and social develop- 
ment of the people, especially to the more recent industrial revolution. 
One of the especially interesting features of this course is the study of 
England's institutions and government as her colonial empire emerged, 
and the conditions under which the United States ©f America became 
independent of England. While this is primarily a textbook course, with 
Cheyney's Short History of England as the text, supplementary reading 
is required, especially from Green's Short History of the English People 
and Cheyney's Industrial and Social History of England. As far as the 
limited time permits, lectures are given on contemporary continental 
institutions, movements, and conditions. 

2. — French History. Elective, fall term. Class work, four hours. 
Four credits. Elective in the courses in home economies and general 
science. 

The story of the growth of the French nation is traced from the days 
when Gaul was a Roman province, through the fall of Rome and the 
German conquest to the development of the Christian church and of the 
institution of feudalism. Then occurs a study of the Crusades, of the 
formation of the French nation, and of the beginnings of absolute mon- 
archy, to the time of the emergence of France into a great European 
power. There follows a survey of the Hundred Years' War, of the 
Protestant Revolution, of the religious civil wars, and finally of the 
monarchy under Louis XIV. The study of the old regime in France, of 
the French Revolution, of Napoleon, and of the new nation, brings this 
course to the point where the course in Modern Europe begins. Text, 
Adams' The Growth of the French Nation, supplemented by special 
library assignments, and by lectures on medieval institutions. 

3. — Modern Europe. Elective, winter term. Class work, four hours. 
Four credits. Elective. 

This is a study of the evolution of the modern European nations out 
of eighteenth century conditions, especial emphasis being laid on the 
period since the French Revolution. A study is made of the principal 
features of their present governments as actually conducted, together 
with the leading questions that are now agitating the several European 
states. An investigation is also made of existing international relations, 
and of the more important problems of the modern world, such as the 
Turkish problem, China, and the partition of Africa. Text, Robinson 
and Beard's Development of Modern Europe, Vol. II, and readings. 

4. — Advanced Industrial History. Sophomore year, fall term, or 
junior year, winter term. Class work, four hours. Four credits. Re- 
quired in the courses in the Division of Mechanic Arts. (This course is 
also incorporated in courses 5 and 6.) 

This course covers — 

First A study of the physical geography, geology, climate, etc., of 
the American continents and how these have affected our history and 
institutions. 

Second. A study of the discovery and colonization of America — the 
impelling motives, the life, occupations, religion, psychological tempera- 
ment, political institutions, etc., of the people; and the attitude of the 
mother country toward colonization and the colonists (especially the 
colonial policy with respect to the occupations and industries of the peo- 
ple) and the reasons for this policy. A careful study is made of the later 
history of immigration as to its causes and its volume, its character and 
direction, and its effect on our industries, politics, and institutions. 



Division of General Science 231 

Third, The influence of the frontier on American history and develop- 
ment. The growth of the great West, and of the spirit and institutions 
there engendered, is traced. The effect of the abundance of free land, of 
the public educational system and of the life of the frontier on the 
evolution of typical American citizenship are considered. Present-day 
irrigation — its needs, methods, and advantages — is also dealt with. 

Fourth. A study of the South before the war (under slavery) , and of 
the new South as it has been developing since the war, including a com- 
parison of the South with New England and the West. 

Fifth. A study, running throughout the course, of the life and the 
industries or occupations of the people — how they were making their 
living and how they lived. This includes a study of the evolution of agri- 
cultural methods, of the growth of the mining and manufacturing indus- 
tries, of the development of transportation facilities; our maritime ship- 
ping interests; inventions, such as the sewing machine, the reaper, the 
steam engine, and the telegraph. It includes a study of the growth of 
our cities as a combined result of the operation of natural trade routes 
and of the exhaustion of our free lands, together with the effect of the 
development of manufactures and transportation facilities. 

Finally. A review of the leading facts in the political history of the 
nation. An attempt is made to appreciate the influence of the above- 
suggested factors on political parties and party issues — e. g., tariffs, in- 
ternal improvements, expansion and slavery — and to appreciate the at- 
titude of sections and of individual leaders toward these issues. This 
course is based on an American history notebook, prepared by the de- 
partment; but special use is made of such texts as Rogart's Economic 
History of the United States, Coman's Industrial History of the United 
States, and Simon's Social Forces in American History. Lectures, as- 
signed readings, and reports. 

5. — American History I. Junior or senior year, fall or winter term. 
Class work, four hours. Four credits. Required in the courses in general 
science, home economics, and industrial journalism; optional in the course 
in agriculture. (This course incorporates the first part of Advanced 
Industrial History.) 

This is an advanced course in the political, constitutional and industrial 
history of America to 1845. It is introduced by a study of the conditions 
leading to discovery of America, the causes of colonization, what the 
colonists found in America, and the development under British control of 
such matters as industries, labor, agriculture, education, and government. 
Next, a study is made of the results, or effects, of the French and Indian 
War, and of the causes and conditions that led to the war of American 
independence. The Treaty of 1783, the governmental, political, and in- 
dustrial conditions during the confederation period; the Convention of 
1787, and the struggle for the adaption of the new constitution, are care- 
fully examined. The following are the lines of our national history that 
are especially studied: the establishment of the nation and the organiza- 
tion and functions of the various departments of its government; the im- 
portant presidential elections; the financial measures of Hamilton; taxa- 
tion, banks, internal improvements; history of political parties, their 
issues and their leaders; foreign relations and the consequent links con- 
necting Europe and America, as in the case of the Monroe doctrine; the 
slavery question — compromises, the laws and the constitution ; nullification 
and secession throughout our history; annexation and the government of 
territories ; national boundaries ; the growth and development of the West, 
with a study of its influence on our national character and history. This 
is a library course, and each student uses an American history notebook 
of topics and references prepared by the department, as an aid to larger, 
more definite and more thorough work. American Government is a pre- 
requisite for this course, except by special permission.

6. — American History II. Senior year, each term. Class work, four 
hours. Four credits. Required in the course in industrial journalism; 
elective in other courses. 

The work of this term continues the course in American History I down 
to the present time. It includes a study of the annexation of Texas and 
the Mexican War, with the resulting slavery issue; the compromise of 
1850; the Kansas-Nebraska bill and the early Kansas struggle "to the 
stars through difficulties," including the various constitutions and the 
final admission to statehood; the origin of the Republican party; the 
election of 1860; secession; a comparative study of the North and the 
South before, during, and after the war ; a study of some leading features 
of the war, including financial questions and foreign relations; recon- 
struction — political, social, and industrial; presidential elections, especially 
that of 1876; and finally, a study of the Spanish War and of America's 
new position as a world power. The American history notebook is con- 
tinued. Emphasis is given to the industrial phases of our history, in an 
effort more clearly to understand and appreciate the present industrial 
age. This course incorporates the latter part of Advanced Industrial 
History. Prerequisite: American History I. 

7. — European Industrial History. Senior year, spring term., Class 
work, four hours. Four credits. Elective in the courses in the Division 
of Agriculture. 

This course includes especially the industrial and social history of 
England, the industrial life and institutions of the middle ages, and a 
survey of the most important phases of the industrial conditions in modern 
Europe, and in China, Japan, and the Philippines. It includes the es- 
sential features of the history of civilization — the chief elements in the 
story of human progress. Based primarily on such texts as Cheyney's 
Industrial and Social History of England, and Innes' England's Industrial 
Development. Supplemented by lectures and reference work. 

8. — History of Home Life and the Law of Domestic Relations. 
Junior or senior year. Class work, four hours. Four credits. Elective 
in the course in home economics. 

The character of this c©urse is suggested by the title. It certainly 
includes essentiaj features ®f the history of civilization, and traces the 
story of human progress from the dawn of history to the present moment. 
The course is now in preparation, and will be offered in the near future. 
It will be based on a combination of texts, lectures, and library readings. 

9. — Kansas History. Elective, spring term. Class work, two hours. 
Two credits. 

This course covers the history of Kansas from the beginning down to 
the present time, with emphasis on the period of statehood. The conquest

Law (Hornbook Series, 1910). 



Industrial Journalism 

Professor Dillon. 
Assistant Smith. 

The purpose of the course in industrial journalism is to give greater 
facility in the use of English, with especial reference to the demands of 
newspapers, farm publications and magazines, in disseminating informa- 
tion concerning agriculture and the industries generally. 

While instruction in * industrial journalism does not begin until the 
junior year, students desiring to take it must come prepared with the 
necessary training in English and other fundamentals of such a course. 
They will be required, also, to conform to a schedule of optional courses 
particularly suited to this profession, and certain to be valuable to them 
after they leave college. Special students with the necessary prerequi- 
sites will be admitted. 



234 Kansas State Agricultural College 

A series of lectures describing the theory and practice of journalism 
is continued throughout the two years. Especial emphasis is given to 
the industrial branch of the profession. A part of every lecture hour 
may be used for criticism or special instructions to the class. 

COURSES IN INDUSTRIAL JOURNALISM 

1. — Elementary Journalism. Junior year, fall or spring term. 
€lass work, two hours. Two credits. Required in the courses in in- 
dustrial journalism and agriculture; elective in other courses. 

In this course the students learn the first principles of the profession 
as they are acquired in actual service. Examples of industrial writing, 
good and bad, are presented for consideration; farm journals and their 
ideals and requirements are discussed; and the students are told just 
what to do and how to do it under given circumstances. 

2. — Farm Writing. Junior year, winter term. Class work, two 
hours. Two credits. Required in the course in industrial journalism; 
elective in other courses. Prerequisite: Elementary Journalism. 

This course contemplates the most careful instruction in preparing 
material for publication in daily and weekly papers throughout the 
State, and in farm journals. The work covers the principal points and 
objections noted by editors of both classes of publications, and gives 
particular attention to suggestions leading to the development of at- 
tractive features in stories of agriculture, home economics, and me- 
chanic arts, and in campus news. The ordinary laboratory or practice 
work incidental to assignments is continued. Attention is given live- 
stock advertising and illustrations. 

3. — Gathering News. Junior year, spring term. Class work, two 
hours. Two credits. Required in the course in industrial journalism; 
elective in other courses. Prerequisite: Farm Writing. 

The lectures and work of this course are designed to familiarize stu- 
dents with the requirements of newspapers in small cities and towns in 
respect to the matter of gathering and presenting current events. A 
part of the term is given to consideration of the principles and problems 
oi. country journalism. 

4 to 9. — Journalism Practice I to VI. " Junior and senior years; 
four hours. Two credits, each term. Required in the course in industrial 
journalism; elective in other courses. The prerequisite for each term 
is the work of all preceding terms in Journalism Practice. 

Journalism practice consists in gathering information, or news, to 
which the students have been assigned, and in writing the stories, or 
articles, in the department workroom. Assignments are given at regular 
periods and must be accounted for exactly as in a newspaper office, or as 
in any college course in which certain tasks are performed in the presence 
of the instructors. The students write articles for The Kansas Indus- 
trialist, the official paper of the College, and for farm journals and news- 
papers, describing the work of the Experiment Station, and the in- 
dustrial work of the various departments. At least one article, and in 
emergency, two or more articles, must be written every week. In pro- 
portion as they advance, the students do more important laboratory, or 
practice, work. They are required to write specfal stories and editorials, 
and in every possible way conduct the actual business of a newspaper 
office. References are looked up, and special articles prepared for pub- 
lication under personal supervision. Special instruction is given in the 
use of technical and .semitechnical expressions in writing, with a clear 
understanding of their meaning. In this way students learn to avoid 
many of the errors inevitably made in newspaper articles written by 
persons unfamiliar with the phraseology of the professions. 



Division of General Science 235 

10. — Copy Reading. Senior year, fall term. Class work, two hours. 
Two credits. Required in the course in industrial journalism; elective in 
other courses. Prerequisite: Gathering News. 

This work teaches the students how to detect, avoid and correct the 
common errors in newspaper writing. The lectures cover practically 
every point encountered in many types of publications. In this part of 
the course students learn how to emphasize in the headlines the most 
important and interesting features of a manuscript. Special attention 
is given advertising, type faces, and the work of making up a news- 
paper. 

11. — Newspaper Law. Senior year, winter term. Class work, two 
hours. Two credits. Required in the course in industrial journalism; 
elective in other courses. Prerequisite: Copy Reading. 

This course is intended to supply the most valuable instruction in 
the law covering the conduct of newspapers and other publications, par- 
ticularly with respect to libel. One half the class periods are given to 
the history of newspapers in the United States and to the law of copy- 
right. The ethics of the profession, invaluable to every one desiring to 
write for the press, are discussed. The students continue their agri- 
cultural and industrial writings as in the other terms. 

12. — Editorial Practice. Senior year, spring term. Class work, 
two hours. Two credits. Required in the course in industrial journal- 
ism; elective in other courses. Prerequisite: Newspaper Law. 

A cultural course designed to broaden the student's viewpoint as to 
the conduct of the editorial department of newspapers and farm journals, 
as to the theories that underlie its work, and as to the factors and in- 
fluences that control it. To encourage the formation of opinion and to 
stimulate thought, acceptable contributions written by the students are 
printed in the College paper. A part of the term is given to a study ol 
the history of agricultural journalism in the United States. 



Library Economy 

Librarian Smith. 
Reference Librarian Derby. 
Research Assistant, 



The library supplements the work of every department of the College. 
It is a storehouse of knowledge for every student. It supplies information 
and the latest results of scientific research for every instructor. The 
library is thus essential to the College, forming, as it were, a center from 
which its various activities radiate. 

In order that the library may perform its functions with the highest 
degree of efficiency it is necessary that instruction be given regarding its 
use. With this thought in mind a course is offered the purpose of which 
is to familiarize the student with scientific, up-to-date methods in the use 
of books and to acquaint him with the best general reference books as well 
as with standard works on various subjects. Placed at the beginning of 
his College course it should tend to increase largely his efficiency in study 
throughout the entire course. 

COURSES IN LIBRARY ECONOMY 

1. — Library Methods. Freshman or sophomore year; fall, winter or 
spring term. Class work, one hour; laboratory work, two hours. Two 
credits. Required in the courses in general science, agriculture, and

Military Training 



Second Lieutenant Hill, Professor of Military Science and Tactics. 
Commissary Sergeant Claeren (U. S. A., retired), Assistant. 
B. H. Ozment, Band Leader. 

Since this College is one of the beneficiaries of the act of Congress of 
1862, military tactics is required in the College curriculum. All young 
men of the freshman and sophomore years are required to take military 
drill three full hours per week. 

The course of instruction is concisely stated in General Orders No. 231, 
War Department, 1909, as follows: 

"The main object of military instruction given at civil educational in- 
stitutions having army officers as professors of military science and 
tactics will be to qualify students who enter the military departments of 
such institutions to be company officers of infantry, volunteers or militia." 
In compliance with this general requirement, the course of instruction 
in divided into practical and theoretical work, arranged as follows: 
a. — Practical: 

Infantry drill, including school of the battalion. 

Butts' Manual, with music. 

Signal drill: International Morse code. 

First-aid drill. 

Minor tactics: advance and rear guard, outposts, patrolling, 

and marches. 
Target practice. 

Ceremonies: parade, guard mounting, review, inspection, funeral 
escort, and escort to the colors.' 
6. — Theoretical : 

Company administration for cadet officers. 
War Department manuals. 
Lectures. 
Students under military instruction are organized into a battalion of 
infantry, the organization, drill, and administration of which conform to 
that of the army. 

Since the number of students assigned to military drill is sufficient to 
.maintain a battalion organization, a band is also provided, the members 



238 Kansas State Agricultural College 

of which must be thoroughly trained in the drill ©f the school of the 
squad. Assignments to the band are made upon request of the band 
leader, who is charged with the technical instruction. 

Officers and noncommissioned officers are selected by the professor of 
military science and tactics, with the approval of the President. This 
selection is made from among those cadets who have been the most 
studious and soldierlike in the performance of their duties, and the most 
exemplary in their general deportment. In general, the cadet captains 
and lieutenants are taken from the senior class, the sergeants from the 
junior class, and the corporals from the sophomore class, 

The degree of excellence attained in military drill by the corps of 
cadets is limited wholly by the state of discipline existing in the corps. 
Therefore, military discipline, as far as compatible with College regu- 
lations, is rigidly enforced during the hour allotted to military work; and 
it is impressed further upon all cadets that their actions and behavior at 
times other than the hour for military drill should be regulated by the 
standards of honor and duty inculcated in military discipline. Each 
cadet is furnished with a copy of the Regulations for the Corps of Cadets, 
Kansas State Agricultural College, and will conform to the rules and re- 
quirements of the same. 

All young men in College courses below the junior year, unless ex- 
cused by reason of physical disability, are required to take military drill, 
and to complete the work of each term in a satisfactory manner. All 
requests for credit, for excuse on surgeon's certificate of permanent dis- 
ability, er for postponement because of exceptional circumstances, are 
made to the President through the Commandant of Cadets, who thoroughly 
investigates each case on its merits and forwards the request, with his 
recommendations, for executive action. Additional work is optional with 
seniors and juniors, who are given preference for appointments as cadet 
officers and noncommissioned officers. A senior or junior having enrolled 
optionally, and having accepted a commission or warrant, is required to 
continue the work throughout the College year, subject to the same regula- 
tions as other cadets. 

The uniform conforms to the West Point cadet pattern in all particu- 
lars. The cost of cap, blouse, and trousers is $14.50.- This expenditure 
actually represents an economy, as the young man receives an excellent, 
well-fitting suit, durable in texture and build, which gives him at all 
times a well-dressed appearance. The uniform must be purchased im- 
mediately after enrollment. New cadets, after being assigned to military 
drill, will report at once to the office of the Commandant of Cadets for 
measurement, and will then make their cash deposits to cover the cost of 
the uniform. The buying of old or of second-hand uniforms is absolutely 
prohibited, and they will not be accepted as satisfactory uniforms by the 
Commandant of Cadets. 

At the close of the year the names of the cadets most distinguished in 
military science and tactics are reported to the War Department, and 
also to the adjutant-general of the State of Kansas. 

To the cadets completing the full course in military science and tactics, 
many excellent opportunities are offered. These young men are well pre- 
pared to stand examinations for commissions in the regular service or in 
the Philippine constabulary, and their training at this institution makes 
of them efficient subalterns. In addition to such positions, opportunities 
exist for affiliation with the National Guard of the State. The War De- 
partment is in fact now preparing a plan whereby certain honorably 
mentioned graduates of institutions of this character may be commissioned 
in the National Guard.

Music 

Professor Valley. 
Assistant Professor Brown. 
Assistant Baum. 
Assistant Ping. 
Assistant Biddison. 
Assistant Beach. 
Band Leader Ozment. 

Recognizing the importance of music in our daily life, the power, cul- 
tural influence, inspiration, and pleasure it affords, and the necessity of 
musical knowledge for those who intend to enter the profession of teach- 
ing, this College offers to the earnest student a good opportunity for the 
study of music. 

No regular or required course is given. The student may take music 
for one term only, or for an extended period of four years. Instruction is 
furnished free to all regular students assigned to music in the following 
branches: Voice, piano, violin, wind and brass instruments; notation, 
theory, harmony, and musical history. 

Class Instruction. Class organization is wholly under the control 
of the professor of music, and classes are organized at such periods as 
best accommodate the students interested. There is a growing demand 
for teachers of music in high schools, and those taking advantage of the 
courses as offered will be well equipped to teach the subject.

Division of General Science 241 

rhythm procured. This combination is made possible in the Department 
of Music by the number of students and by the variety ©f instruments. 
Students who are sufficiently advanced to join the College Choral Union, 
the College Glee Club, the College Orchestra, or the Military Band, may 
become members by assignment. 

The Orchestra. — This organization endeavors to maintain a correct 
and well-balanced instrumentation, and gives the members opportunity 
for practical orchestral playing. The work is highly educational, in- 
cluding, as it does, the study and performance of standard overtures, 
symphonies, and concert pieces in -classic and modern form. The or- 
chestra ^ furnishes music for the College Assembly each morning and 
assists in several concerts and entertainments during the year. 

Choral Union. — Chorus singing is of great importance to students in 
voice, and this society was organized for their benefit. The students 
receive here much needed experience in sight reading, become familiar 
with choral masterpieces, and enjoy the broadening influence of these 
works. One rehearsal is held each week. Regular attendance is re- 
quired. 

Assembly Chorus. — The more advanced students are invited to sing 
in this chorus, which has for its object the rendition of a weekly choral 
selection at the assembly. Only the highest class of church music is used 
on these occasions. Rehearsals are held on Friday afternoons.

conform strictly to cadet regulations. Assignments to the band are 
made for the entire year by the leader. Members of the band are re- 
quired to attend regularly until after Commencement exercises. The 
band furnishes music for all ceremonies of a military character and for 
various other college occasions. 

Annual Concert. — On Wednesday of Commencement week, an annual 
concert is given by the Choral Union, assisted by the orchestra. In the 
spring term a number of musical recitals are given, of which the students 
furnish the entire programs. These recitals are open to the public. 



Philosophy 

Professor McKeever. 

The courses offered in the Department of Philosophy are intended to 
give the student practical assistance in the performance of his chosen 
work. With this end in view, the abstract speculations which once char- 
acterized many of the philosophic subjects are studiously avoided, while 
the concrete and human aspects of things are emphasized. In every 
course it is sought to have the student keep consciously in mind the human 
society in which he lives, and to set up for himself the goal of efficient 
membership therein. 

The department is reasonably well equipped for doing satisfactory 
work. The psychology laboratory contains enough apparatus to meet the 
practical needs of the course, and the department library is sufficiently 
well stocked to admit of a liberal amount of reference work.

ciples of the subject and to show the application of these principles to 
everyday life. The student is required to spend about one-half of the 
preparation time in reference reading, and to offer before the class during 
the term two or more independent discussions. It is also required that 
each student, by the use of laboratory instruments furnished by the de- 
partment, make out a personal table of biometric measurements, a dupli- 
cate copy of which is kept on file. A short time is devoted to the study 
of some of the more important problems in social psychology. James's 
Psychology is used as a text, with the works of Angell and Judd as refer- 
ence texts. 

3. — Industrial Psychology. Elective, fall term. Class work, four 
hours. Four credits. Elective in the courses in general science and home 
economics. 

This course offers an opportunity to study some of the more special 
and practical problems of psychology, as, the psychology of advertising, 
of leadership, of the crowd, of mental therapy, of dreams (the Freudean 
theory), of the abnormal consciousness (psychiatry). Eact student is 
required to make an extensive study of at least one such subject and to 
make a full report on it. 

4. — Ethics. Junior or senior year, winter term. Class work, four 
hours. Four credits. Elective in the courses in general science and home 
economics. 

This is a lecture course giving brief consideration to systematic ethics 
and a fuller treatment of practical ethics. Theories of conscience and of 
the highest good are subjects of special consideration, as is also the 1 
psychological aspect of the development of the ethical judgment. Each 
member of the class is required to present a number of discussions of 
reference readings and to consider the application of ethics to his chosen 
vocation. Text, Ethics of Progress, by Dale. 

5. — Eugenics. Elective, spring term. Four hours a week. Class 
work. Four credits. Elective in the courses in general science and home 
economics. 

Eugenics is a new and as yet unstandardized subject. The plan of 
treatment is about as follows: To consider man (1) from the point of 
view of biology and present-day theory of evolution; (2) in the light of 
present-day knowledge of animal breeding; (3) as so far revealed by the 
London Eugenics Laboratory, the American Eugenics Laboratory (at 
Cold Springs Harbor), and other such agencies; (4) as circumscribed by 
the traditional laws of the family, the statutes regulating marriage, and 
the like. The student is required to do a liberal amount of reading in this 



Division of General Science 243 

new field and to give frequent reports on the subject matter. About one- 
half of the recitation hour is given to lectures. 

6. — Research and Laboratory Psychology. Senior year. Eight 
hours a week. Four credits. An individual elective laboratory course, 
open to a very limited number of students. 

Either ©ne or two types of work may be attempted: (1) The pursuit 
of an inquiry into some carefully chosen social problem, with a view to 
securing new psychological data thereon; (2) the study of ©ne or more 
laboratory problems, new to the student, with the use of the instruments 
for psychological measurements. In each case a full tabulated rep®rt of 
the work is required of the student.

The purpose of this department is to assist the students of the College 
to live to the best advantage, and so to aid them in the formation of hy- 
gienic habits that during their College course they may make profitable 
preparation f©r life. It is an urgent necessity that every student should 
have an intelligent appreciation of the means requisite for the preserva- 
tion of his health, in order that he may be able to formulate intelligently 
his own policy of health control. 

All young men and all young women of the College are entitled to the 
privileges of the gymnasium, which is one of the largest in the West and 
is well equipped with all sorts of apparatus for physical training, with 
lockers, plunge baths, shower baths, and other accommodations. 

Physical Training is optional for men but may be elected. Three days 
a week for the term is considered full time and for this one hour of 
credit is given. A total of six hours of credit may be elected. All young 
women below the junior year are required to take physical training, un- 
less excused by the Dean of Women, except that in the sophomore year 
music may be taken instead; provided that the student has a credit of at 
least one year of physical training. Women excused from physical train- 
ing on account of physical disability are provided by their dean with an 
equivalent or stronger substitute from the regular course, and their 
normal work later in the course is increased by that amount. After the 
two years required physical training have been completed, women have 
the privilege of electing physical training for credit under the conditions 
stated above for the men. 

The following phases of departmental work are combined for the pur- 
pose of accomplishing the desired end.

PHYSICAL TRAINING FOE MEN 
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS 

The work of the department is based largely upon a physical examina- 
tion given each student upon his first entrance to the College. A second 
examination is given at the close of his sophomore year. All students, 
whether taking work in the department or not, are entitled to receive a 
physical examination, and advice as to their physical condition. 

The measurements taken and the tests given have each a definite pur- 
pose with reference to ascertaining the muscular condition of the indi- 
vidual. A diagnosis is also made of the vital organs to ascertain their 
functional condition, and a complete inspection of the whole body is made 
to detect any weakness or deformity that may exist. Based upon the in- 
formation thus obtained, advice is given and work is assigned to students 
in accordance with their physical needs and tastes, and their condition of 
fitness. Delicate students, and those suffering from functional disorders, 
receive individual attention. Students organically sound are assigned 
work in a carefully graded and progressive system of gymnastics and ath- 
letics. All candidates for athletic teams, class as well as College teams, 
are required to enroll in the department, submit to a thorough physical 
examination, and pass the grade tests before being allowed to compete for 
positions on the various teams. Students engaging in two or more Col- 
lege sports during the school year must undergo a physical examination 
before undertaking any given sport. This is required in order that no 
student may indulge in athletics to his own permanent physical injury. 
Each student may secure a copy of his own physical measurements, and 
an anthropometric chart, showing in graphic form his own development 
as compared with the average or typical man. 

Members of the College teams, reporting regularly, are excused from 
regular class work, and are entitled to full credit in that portion of their 
work; but before the completion of the course, at least two terms' work 
must be done in the gymnasium. Credit, the equivalent of a one-hour sub- 
ject, is given and counts toward promotion and the College degree. The 
individual's grade rests largely on the basis of attendance, punctuality, 
earnestness, and application; but written and practical tests are also 
given. 

Regulation uniforms must be worn in the gymnasium. Students are 
advised not to procure uniforms until after their arrival at the College. 

HYGIENIC INSTRUCTION 

This instruction gives an insight into the practical problems of daily 
healthful living from a personal point of view. Directions are given for 
avoiding the common ills of student life, and for maintaining the highest 
physical and mental condition while in college, as well as for gaining the 
highest development of vital power and health for future duties. 

1. — Freshman Course. Sixteen lectures. These lectures give special 
attention to exercise, rest, food, respiration, care of excretions, clothing, 
and bathing and cleanliness. The effects of certain abnormal bodily con- 
ditions and habits are also given due consideration, e. g,, adenoids, large 



Division of General Science 245 

■tonsils, decayed teeth, mouth breathing, rapid eating, the use of narcotics 
and stimulants, constipation, and certain phases of social hygiene. Train- 
ing principles for athletic contests and athletic equipment also receive 
attention. 

2. — Sophomore Course. Twelve lectures. This course reviews and 
enlarges upon certain phases of the subfreshman course; deals with bac- 
teria and a few other common causes of disease, their distribution and 
transmission; includes a discussion of the "common carriers" of disease, 
such as food, water, clothing, flies, mosquitoes, other insects, animals, and 
careless human beings; discusses the defenses against disease, such as 
established boards, of health and quarantine, and appropriate sanitary 
legislation. The defenses of the individual, such as cleanliness, avoidance 
of the carriers of disease, the use of antiseptics, sunshine, fresh air, and 
immunity are further discussed. 

INSTRUCTION IN PHYSICAL EXERCISE 
This course furnishes instruction in all the various grades of gymnastic 
and athletic exercises offered by the department. The great variety of 
exercises offered is intended to meet all individual needs, capacities and 
tastes. A physical examination and test determines the grade or class 
-of exercises for which a student is fitted. 

A. — Gymnastics. During the winter term the work is conducted in- 
doors, and consists of light and heavy gymnastics, which are selected 
with a view to obtaining progressive effect upon the bodily organism: 

a. Free Calisthenics. Exercises are selected for their different effects 
upon the bodily organism, and are arranged in the order of increasing 
difficulty. They involve hygienic or body-building work, educative move- 
ments, and corrective or remedial exercises. Both the Swedish and the 
German systems are used. 

b. Tactics. A modified form of the military and of the German sys- 
tem is used, both for convenience in handling classes and for disciplinary 
value. 

c. Light Apparatus. Training is given in the use of Indian clubs, 
dumb-bells, wands, bar bells, etc. 

d. Heavy Apparatus. Graded exercises are given on parallel bars, 
vaulting bars, bounce board and mat, side and long horse, high and low 
horizontal bars, traveling and flying rings, etc. 

e. Indoor Athletics. Instruction is given in all indoor track events 
preparatory to indoor track meets. 

/. Games. There are included basket ball, indoor baseball, volley ball ; . 
also, "other games of a more recreative nature. 

g. Specials. Under this head come fencing, boxing, wrestling, tum- 
bling, and advanced apparatus work, offered as advanced work to those 
who have had not less than two terms' work in the gymnasium. Hours 
are arranged with the instructor. 

h. Swimming. A part of the regular instruction for the spring term 
is swimming. A passing grade must be made in this phase of the work. 

B. — Departmental^ Athletics. In the fall and spring terms, the 
courses in the gymnasium are partly supplemented by instruction in out- 
door athletics. Individuals are assigned to the kind of work best suited 
to them. Attendance is compulsory upon those participating. In the 
fall the following sports are offered: football; track' and field events; 
cross-country running; and outdoor basket ball. In the spring are 
offered: baseball; track and field events; cross-country running; and 
outdoor basket ball. 

Cross-country running is encouraged throughout the year. Natural 



246 Kansas State Agricultural College 

exercise in the open air takes precedence of all other forms of exercise. 
Opportunity is offered for tennis, but it can not be elected in place of 
required work. 

Days unsuited for outdoor work are devoted to a discussion of playing 
rules, the principles of training for athletic contests, and lectures on 
team work. 

C. — Intercollegiate Athletics. These contests are promoted and 
encouraged for the more vigorous students, because of their effect upon 
college life, and their wide social and moral value to the participants. 
Intercollegiate teams should represent the final stage of selection in an 
educational process and development among a large number of students, 
thereby giving both a rational physical education system and a healthy 
system of sport. Intercollegiate contests are scheduled for the different 
sports, viz., football, basket ball, baseball, track athletics, and tennis. 

PHYSICAL TEAINING FOR WOMEN 

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS 

A physical examination of each young woman is made by the instructor 
in charge of women before permission to enter a class is given. This 
includes an elaborate system of body measurements and an examination 
of the condition of the heart and lungs. Physical defects, abnormalities, 
and weaknesses are noted and judicious healthful exercise is prescribed 
to fit the student's individual needs. 

A suit has been adopted which consists of black serge blouse and 
bloomers, and must be made in uniform style. The pattern for the suit 
is the Ladies' Home Journal pattern number 5421.

Recognizing the need of a thorough knowledge of the fundamental laws 
and principles involved in all physical changes, provision has been made, 
in the courses which follow, for both a theoretical and a practical treat- 
ment of the subject. Instruction is based upon the facts given in selected 
textbooks, and these topics are enlarged upon by lectures and illustrated 
by experimental demonstrations. The purpose is to give a training in 
exact reasoning, and a knowledge of principles that will be factors in the 
solution of problems in all branches of science as well as in everyday life. 

The laboratory work which accompanies the courses in physics gives 
a student abundant opportunity to test the principal laws of the science; 
and, since he is expected to arrange and operate the apparatus, the work 
should enable him to acquire skill in manipulation, precision of judgment, 
and care in the use of delicate instruments. The laboratories are well 
arranged for the work, and the equipment provided is of a nature adapted 
to meet the requirement of accurate work in all courses. The manual in 
use in most of the courses is one prepared by the department to meet the 
exact conditions and equipment of the laboratory.

Public Speaking 

Assistant Professor Johnston. 
Assistant . 

It is the constant effort of this department to correlate the training in 
public speaking with the work in all the other departments of the College; 
to harmonize it with the spirit of the school, which is distinctly technical 
and industrial in character. With this end in view, students in agricul- 
ture are trained in the presentation and discussion of agricultural facts 
before supposed audiences of farmers. Students in engineering, home 
economics, architecture, etc., are trained in speaking on subject matter 
relating to their respective courses of study, and to their probable needs 
and activities in later life. Conviction, not entertainment, is the dom- 
inant purpose in every case. 

COURSES IN PUBLIC SPEAKING 

1. — Public Speaking. Freshman year, fall, winter, or spring term. 
Four hours a week. Four credits. Required in the courses in general 
science .and industrial journalism. 

This course begins with a study of the fundamental principles and 
accepted rules of public address. These are applied in the interpretation 
of selected masterpieces of general literature and oratory, and also in the 
delivery of original subject matter by each student, the class serving as 
his audience and critics. Some time is devoted to exercises in correct 
breathing, articulation, and tone production, and to fit these to the indi- 
vidual needs of students. Instruction is given by recitation, lectures, and 
platform work. Text, Kammeyer's Principles and Practice of Public 
Speaking. 

2. — Extempore Speech. Freshman year, spring and fall terms. _ Two 
hours a week. Two credits. Required in the courses in the Division of 
Mechanic Arts. 

This course is an abbreviation of Public Speaking and is limited to

practice in vocal and physical expression than can be given in the others 
as outlined. Practically all the time is devoted to exercises for the cor- 
rection of faulty articulation, grouping, bearing, attitude, gesture, etc. 
Reading and impromptu speaking before the class afford opportunity for 
testing the ability acquired. The dominant purpose of the course is to 
help students to fix correct habits of speech by means of frequent repeti- 
tions and conscious effort. Instruction is given by means of drill and 
platform work. 

4.— Forms of Public Address. Junior or senior year, spring term. 
Four hours per week. Four credits. Elective in the course in general 
science. Prerequisite: Public Speaking or Extempore Speech.

Sociology 

Professor Holton. 

It is recognized by all students of the development of civilization that 
a knowledge of the fundamental laws controlling social groups is essential 
in the education of those who will largely determine the character of our 
rural institutions. The controlling motives in the courses in sociology 
are: (1) the need of social efficiency in our rural institutions, and (2) 
the farmer's demand for a national agrarian policy.

Instructor — . 

Classroom teaching and laboratory instruction are closely correlated, 
and the student is expected to be able to draw conclusions based upon a 
comparison of information from both sources. As nearly as circumstances 
permit, the classroom and laboratory "work on the same form proceed 
simultaneously. By means of frequent and carefully planned excursions 
and the free use of vivaria in the laboratory and museum, the student )s 
never allowed to forget that he is dealing with living creatures, in many 
cases fellow members of his own environment, some of which are decidedly 
beneficial or decidedly injurious to his welfare. The courses offered by 
this department are intended to awaken in the student an appreciation of 
the general principles of animal life and of its relation to the welfare of 
man. 

A large number of standard anatomical charts, and representative 
collections of vertebrates and invertebrates, a series of lantern slides, and 
a series of microscope mounts are available for illustrative purposes. 
Compound and dissecting microscopes sufficient for the needs of laboratory 
classes have been provided. 

COURSES IN ZOOLOGY 

1 to 3. — General Zoology I, II, and Embryology. Sophomore year 
for students in agriculture and home economics. Freshman year for 
students in general science, industrial journalism, and veterinary medi- 
cine. Required of all students in these courses. Fall, winter and spring, 
or winter, spring and fall terms, respectively. Class work, two hours; 
laboratory, four hours. Four credits each term. Men and women are 
taught in separate sections. The students are grouped in sections ac- 
cording to the amount of their experience, and the nature of the work 
is varied to suit the needs of each group. 

Course 1 represents a connected elementary study of the structure and 
functions of types selected to illustrate the development of the invertebrate 
part of the animal kingdom. Attention is given to classification and the 
relations of the different forms. 

Course 2 consists of a connected elementary study of the structure and 
functions of types selected to illustrate the development and relations of 
the vertebrate part of the animal kingdom. Some attention is given to 
classification, but the work mainly consists of a study of the organs and 
their functions of a few selected types. 

Course 3 (Embryology) represents a study of the development of the 
germ cells, fertilization, and the nutrition and growth of the vertebrate 
embryo, with a greater emphasis on the comparative study of the de- 
velopment and nutrition of the fcetuses of the domestic mammals and man. 
This course aims to give a general idea of embryological development and 
a better understanding of the organs and their functions of the types in 
the phylum Chordata. 

Laboratory, — The laboratory work in courses 1 and 2 consists of obser- 
vations of the form and activities of living animals, both in the field and 
in the vivaria in the laboratory and museum, and of the dissection and 
sketching of the important systems of those animals selected as types. 



Division of General Science 255 

The laboratory work in embryology represents a microscopic study of the 
male and female germ cells, stages in the process of fertilization, the 
segmenting ovum, and the serial sections and whole mounts of the chick

in the class and in connection with the field work. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work consists largely of four-hour field 
trips to a number of specially selected areas, ponds, streams, meadow, 
woods, and college farm. Much of the time of the trips is taken in the 
identification of birds and mammals, with special attention given to their 
adaptation and economic importance. 

12. — Zoological Seminar. For the staffs in entomology and zo- 
ology and advanced students in these departments. Noncredit. One two- 
hour session a week. Fall, winter, and spring terms, respectively. 

This course consists of the presentation of papers on original investiga- 
tions by members of the two departments and advanced students. Here 
the papers to be read at scientific meetings or published in scientific 
journals or bulletins are discussed. Most of the sessions are devoted to 
the presentation and criticism of the best thoughts on the fundamental 
problems of biology found in the books and periodicals in the library or 
reported by members from scientific meetings. 



Special Courses for Teachers 

At the present time the teaching of vocational subjects in the public 
schools is undergoing great development. Many schools are introducing 
manual training, agriculture, domestic science, and domestic art, and 
many others are extending the work hitherto given. The State law re- 
quiring the teaching of agriculture in the rural schools is also proving 
to be a strong movement in the same direction. There is an active de- 
mand for teachers who can handle such work successfully. 

The College offers to graduates of other institutions, and indeed t© all 
who have studied such subjects as may be prerequisite, unexcelled facili- 
ties for securing training in the industrial subjects indicated. Courses 
extending over one or two years may be arranged by means of which the 
student who is already prepared in English, mathematics, and to a cer- 
tain extent in the sciences, may prepare himself to enter a broader and, 
frequently, a more remunerative field. 

Pages 201 and 203, Nos. 16, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21, exhibit groupings 
that illustrate the possibilities in work of this character, and other ar- 
rangements may be made. Those taking such courses will be cared for 
in the regular classes provided for pther students, and no limitation is 
imposed except that the prerequisites for any subject must have been 
taken previously, here or elsewhere. These prerequisites are stated in 
this catalogue in connection with the description of each subject. The 
catalogue also shows the terms in which a subject is regularly given, 
but many of those of the freshman and of the sophomore year are also 
offered at other times. Prospective students may receive information 
concerning such other opportunities by addressing the President of the 
College.

The Summer School 

Edwin L. Holton, Director. 



There is no larger or better equipped plant devoted to the 
teaching of agriculture, home economics, mechanic arts and 
related subjects than Kansas has in her State Agricultural 
College. In order that this plant may not remain idle during 
the summer, the Board of Administration has authorized the 
organization of a Summer School for Teachers. The College 
is authorized by an act of Congress to expend each year a por- 
tion of the national appropriation for "providing sourses for 
the special preparation of instructors for teaching the elements 
of agriculture and mechanic arts." 

Each year there is an increasing demand for trained teach- 
ers of agriculture, shop work, and home economics. The Col- 
lege has not been able to supply this demand. The Summer 
School offers an opportunity for experienced teachers to pre- 
pare themselves to meet the new demands placed upon the 
public schools, viz. : preparing the boys and girls for vocational 
and social efficiency. 

ADVANTAGES AT THE KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 

For the training of teachers in vocational subjects the Kan- 
sas State Agricultural College has a peculiar advantage. The 
College campus occupies a commanding and attractive site 
upon an elevation adjoining the western limits of the city of 
Manhattan, with electric car service into town and to the 
railway stations. The grounds are tastefully laid out accord- 
ing to the designs of a landscape architect, and are extensively 
planted with a great variety of beautiful and interesting trees, 
arranged in picturesque groups, masses and border plantings, 
varied by banks of shrubbery and interspersed with extensive 
lawns, gardens and experimental fields. Broad, macadamized 
and well-shaded avenues lead to all parts of the campus. In- 
cluding the campus of 160 acres, the College owns 748 acres of 
land. Outside the campus proper, all the land is devoted to 
practical and experimental work in agriculture. Within the 
College grounds most of the space not occupied by buildings 
or needed for drives and ornamental planting is devoted to 
orchards, forest and fruit nurseries, vineyards, and gardens. 

The College buildings, twenty-one in number, are harmoni- 
ously grouped, and are uniformly constructed of attractive 
white limestone obtained from the College quarries. The Col- 



258 Kansas State Agricultural College 

lege owns and operates its own system of waterworks, and is 
provided with a complete sewerage system. 

There is a growing conviction among the leading educators 
that the best institution in which to train teachers of voca- 
tional subjects is a well-equipped technical college, where the 
courses of study are pointed towards the producing vocations. 
The Kansas State Agricultural College is such an institution. 

EXPENSES 

Tuition is free. An incidental fee of $3 and a medical fee of 
50 cents per term are charged all students whose homes are in 
Kansas. For nonresidents of the state a matriculation fee of 
$10 upon entrance and an incidental fee of $10 and a medical 
fee of 50 cents per term are charged. Receipts for these fees 
must be presented before enrollment in the College classes. 
Table board varies from $3.50 to $4 per week. Room rent 
ranges from $8 to $12 per month. The College Young Men's 
Christian Association offers accommodation in its building 
for a limited number of students, at prices from $10 to $12 
per month. The cost of rooms is reduced by half where two 
students room together. 

COLLEGE CREDITS 

Full College credit is given for all courses satisfactorily 
completed by regularly matriculated students unless other- 
wise specified in the announcement of the courses. Students 
desiring College credit are not allowed to carry more than ten 
credit hours; provided, that an exceptionally strong student 
may be permitted to carry two additional credit hours upon 
the approval of the Director of the Summer School. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 

Four years of high-school work are required for admission 
to the College, but any applicant holding a teacher's certificate 
will be admitted to the courses for the Summer School without 
examination. 

The following classes of applicants will be admitted : 

1. Students already enrolled in the College. 

2. Graduates of high schools that have four-year courses of 
study. 

3. Any one holding certificate to teach in the state of 
Kansas. 

4. Prospective teachers who are not graduates of four-year 
high schools and who do not hold teacher's certificates may be 
admitted as special students. 

CONVOCATION 

The hours from ten to eleven on Thursdays are reserved for 
general assembly of all students. A special address and music 
are arranged for each of these general assembly periods. 



The Summer School 259 



LIBRARY 



The library is open during the summer. The librarian 
places all the valuable books, bulletins and reports at the serv- 
ice of the Summer School students. 

EDUCATIONAL TRIPS 

Trips are arranged for those who desire to take them, to the 
experimental grounds on the College farm and campus, to 
study the work in progress. These trips are under the leader- 
ship of trained men. 

RURAL LIFE AND RURAL CHURCH CONFERENCE 

From July 20 to July 26 there will be held the Fourth Annual 
Rural Life and Rural Church Conference. The College is 
planning to make this a short course in rural economics and 
social problems for the pastors, Sunday-school superintend- 
ents, teachers, and members of other organizations interested 
in revitalizing rural and village neighborhood life. Every 
church, Sunday school, and society or club in Kansas is invited 
to send one or more delegates to this conference. Some of the 
best men in the country will lead the discussions. 

There will be regular lectures and recitations each day in 
agriculture, rural sociology, economics, and modern methods 
of community building. 

During the afternoons the College will plan for demonstra- 
tions in stock judging, grain judging, trips to the experi- 
mental plots, demonstration fields, gardens, and orchards. 

On the Fourth of July there will be a demonstration of a 
sane Fourth. This demonstration should be very helpful to all 
pastors who expect to be leaders in community building.

Dean Jardine. 

Assistant Professor Leidigh. 

Assistant Throckmorton. 

These courses will not be offered for less than ten students. 

Farm Crops. Class work, two hours. Laboratory work, four hours. 
Two credits. 

This is a study of corn, largely from the standpoint of production. 
The history and botanical characters of the plant are considered. The 
structure and the manner of growth of the roots, culms, leaves, and in- 
florescence are studied in detail. The origin of the varieties and the im- 
provement through selection and breeding receive special attention. 

The importance of high vitality, the effect of climate on the crop, and 
the distribution of corn over the United States are considered. Seed-bed 
preparation and planting and cultural methods are discussed. Methods 
for the eradication and destruction of weeds and insect enemies which 



260 Kansas State Agricultural College 

largely affect the yield of this crop are considered. Methods of harvest- 
ing, storing and marketing are also taken up. Text, Hunt's Cereals in 
America. 

Laboratory. — The laboratory work consists of a study of the actual 
plant and ears of corn. A study in variation is made with different types 
of plants and with different shapes of ears and kernels as illustrations. 
Differences in texture and structure of kernels of the same type and of 
different types of corn are studied. Practical demonstrations of seed 
germination are made. A study of the worth of individual ears, accord- 
ing to the best known standards, constitutes a part of the work. The 
commercial grading of corn is illustrated and studied. 

Farm Crops III. Class work, six hours. Laboratory work, four 
hours. Four credits. Prerequisite: Farm Crops I. 

. A study of forage and fiber crops, with special reference to their im- 
portance, history, method of development, growth, distribution, culture, 
and uses. The culture and adaptation of perennial grasses for hay and 
pasture are considered. Annual forage crops, including not only sor- 
ghums, rape, millets, and legumes, but also corn, wheat, and rye, which 
are commonly known as cereals, but which are also used for silage, soil- 
ing,* fodder and hay, are studied. Attention is given to the planting, 
culture and uses of both annual and perennial legumes, root crops, and 
'fiber crops. The relative feeding value of the respective crops for dif- 
ferent purposes, whether for silage, soiling or hay, is taken into account. 
The cultural methods best suited to individual crops, the character of the 
soil, the lay of the land, etc., receive their share of attention. Text, 
Forage and Fiber Crops, by Hunt. 

Laboratory. — In the laboratory both sheaf and mounted specimens of 
these crops are studied. In the greenhouse about fifty types of forage 
plants are kept growing for laboratory use. The student is, therefore, 
given an opportunity to become familiar with the structure of the plant, 
the arrangement of the leaves, inflorescence, etc. — information that can 
be obtained only by studying the plant itself. The student is also taught 
to identify the different tame grasses and clovers and their seeds, with 
special reference to quality, purity, and freedom from adulterants, and 
weed seeds. Commercial hay grading is likewise made a part of the 
work. 

Soil Management, Class work, three hours. Laboratory work, four 
hours. Two credits.

sides the study of general zoology, which makes the course equivalent to 
General Zoology I of the regular course, special elementary studies of the 
following economic phases are made: parasitology, injurious mammals 
and inheritance; and, accompanied by the entomologists, a brief field 
study of the chinch bug, corn-ear worm, and a few fruit insects at work, 
and the means of control. The indoor laboratory exercises consist in 
caring for the live forms in the aquaria and cages, and experimental 
studies in tropisms — the responses of the living organisms to the vari- 
ous stimuli, such as light, temperature, moisture, chemicals. These studies 
are correlated with the observations made on the field trips 1 , and the data 
obtained are applied in the construction of working principles.

Division of College Extension 

John Harold Miller, Dean. 



Until 1905 the work of college extension, in the form of 
farmers' institutes, was in charge of a farmer's institute com- 
mittee of the College. Applications for college lecturers at 
the institutes were referred to this committee, and such mem- 
bers of the Faculty as happened to be available were detailed 
to attend the meetings. The State appropriation for institute 
work was small, no regular staff could be employed, and the 
institutes themselves were for the most part .unorganized and 
of a temporary and sporadic character. The first step toward 
the development of the institute work was taken in the em- 
ployment by the Board of Regents of a superintendent, who 
assumed the responsibilities of the organization of the work 
in October, 1905. In July, 1906, the Department of Farmers' 
Institutes was formally organized by the Board of Regents. 
An energetic prosecution of the work of agricultural exten- 
sion had resulted in an awakened interest throughout the 
State, and in a legislative appropriation of $4000 in 1905, to 
which amount the College added $800. In 1907 the results of 
the extension work were seen to be so valuable that the legis- 
lature approppriated $11,500, to which the College added 
$1000. In 1909 the legislature, with unprecedented liberality, 
made an appropriation for agricultural extension work of 
$52,500, just five times the appropriation made by the pre- 
ceding legislature. The legislature of 1911 appropriated for 
this department $35,000 for the year ending June 30, 1912, 
and $40,000 for the year ending June 30, 1913. The legisla- 
ture of 1913 appropriated for the Division of College Exten- 
sion, $45,000 for the year ending June 30, 1914, and $50,000 
for the year ending June 30, 1915. 

The many developments of the extension work made it 
necessary, in the judgment of the Board of Regents, to create 
in December, 1912, the Division of College Extension, consist- 
ing of four distinct sections — the Department of Farmers' 
Institutes and Demonstrations, the Department of Highway 
Engineering and Irrigation, the Department of Home Eco- 
nomics, and the Department of Correspondence-Study — each 
with its own head and staff; the' Board of Regents made the 
Director of Extension, Dean of the Division of College 
Extension. 

The principal value of the Agricultural College, as a teach- 
ing factor, must be in the training it is able to give to the 



276 Kansas State Agricultural College 

young people who enter upon and continue through its courses 
of study, in residence. The Agricultural Experiment Station, 
as a natural adjunct to the College, has its great field in the 
discovery of new truths relating to agriculture. So long, how- 
ever, as the institution limits its efforts to these lines, it is 
evident that only a small proportion of the people of a state 
can derive direct and practical benefit from the work of the 
College. The progress of agricultural education would be 
slow indeed if the Agricultural College did not offer other 
forms of instruction to the people of the State. The same 
economic principle that justified the expenditure of public 
funds for educating young people who are able to attend the 
College justifies a similar expenditure for the purpose of 
taking the College to those who are not able to come to it. 
State education is not philanthropy, but self -protection — fore- 
sight. An educated citizenship is a prosperous citizenship. 
The Kansas State Agricultural College, through its several 
lines of extension, conducted meetings during the year ending 
June 30, 1912, with an aggregate attendance of 349,967 people 
— more than one-fifth of the population of the State. 

While this work is directed by the Division of College Ex- 
tension, the scope would be very limited were it not for the co- 
operation of the other divisions and departments of the Col- 
lege in supplying speakers for institutes, assistants in various 
lines of demonstration work, teachers for movable schools, and 
wise counsel in the various lines of public effort. 



Farmers' Institutes and Demonstrations 

Edw. C. Johnson, Superintendent. 

P. E. Crabtree, Farm Crops. 

G. C. Wheeler, Animal Husbandry. 

Geo. O. Greene, Horticulture. 

A. S. Neale, Dairy Husbandry. 

C. D. Steiner, Boys* Clubs. 

W. A. Boys, Demonstration Agent, West Central Kansas. 

Clyde McKee, Demonstration Agent, Northwestern Kansas. 

G. E. Thompson, Demonstration Agent, Southwestern Kansas. 

H. J. Bowers, Demonstration Agent, Southeastern Kansas. 

The farmers' institutes of the State have regular officers, constitutions 
and by-laws, and are required by law to meet at least annually. Many of 
these organizations also hold six or more monthly meetings. The College 
plans to send one or more speakers to present at a meeting certain well- 
defined lessons in some branch of agriculture. The speakers and their 
subjects are chosen because of a known need or interest in a particular 
community, and with a view to starting or encouraging certain definite 
lines of agricultural work. Effort has been made to build up a fixed 
membership in these institutes, and the list of members reported to this 
department up to March 1, 1913, is about 16,000. This membership roll 
constitutes the mailing list for the regular pamphlets issued by this 
department to the members of the farmers' institutes. In addition to 



Division of College Extension 277 

-these pamphlets, each member who fills out and returns a membership 
blank will receive from the College, from the government, or from some 
State Experiment Station such other obtainable literature as his interests 
demand. Each year some special topic, such as live stock, plant breeding, 
gardening, orcharding, or dairying, is made especially prominent in insti- 
tute programs, either for the whole State or for certain specified districts. 
Special meetings are held by approximately two-thirds of the institutes, 
for the discussion, on certain designated days, of special subjects, such 
as "Alfalfa," "Poultry," "Good Roads," "Seed Selection," "Silos and 
Silage," "The Farm Horse," etc. 

The programs for all regular meetings are based on suggestive out- 
lines sent out by the Institute Department. When these are returned by 
the local committees, the programs and posters are printed and sent out 
free. The department furnishes literature, on request, for members who 
are to take part in the program of an institute, a grange, or other organ- 
ization. During the campaign beginning September 1, 1912, and ending 
March 15, 1913, the College assisted in the holding of 183 two-day insti- 
tutes and 221 one-day institutes — a total of 404 institutes, having an 
aggregate attendance of more than 73,320 farmers, with their families. 

MONTHLY MEETINGS 

One of the most important features of the farmers' institute work in 
this State is the custom of having each farmers' institute organization 
hold from six to nine monthly meetings. These meetings are held usually 
on the afternoon of the second Saturday of each month from September 
to May. The Department of Farmers' Institutes suggests the subject for 
discussion, and the same subject is to be discussed in each and every 
institute in the State. In this way certain very important subjects have 
been discussed by thousands of farmers at seasonable times, looking to 
somewhat general unanimity of action. The subjects discussed at these 
monthly meetings have included such as, "Home Orchard," "The Silo," 
"Seed-bed Preparation for Corn," "Seed-bed Preparation for Wheat," 
""Care of Brood Sow and Litter," "Sorghum," "Road Improvement," 
"Consolidation of Rural Schools," etc. The department has made a re- 
quirement that every institute must hold at least three of these monthly 
meetings, in addition to the annual meeting, before being entitled to aid 
from the county. 

DEMONSTRATION FARMING 

General Field Demonstrations. After speakers from the Agricul- 
tural College have attended institute meetings and discussed certain 
methods of farming, requests have come from farmers that the College 
send men into those communities to put to a practical test the theories 
advocated. Therefore, four or five members of the department have 
usually spent the time from March to July in various field demonstrations, 
including pruning and spraying orchards, building silos, inspecting dairy 
herds, making plans for dairy barns, visiting farmers and advising as to 
farm management, etc. 

District Demonstration Agents. In addition to the advisory demon- 
stration work indicated in the preceding paragraph, the College has em- 



278 Kansas State Agricultural College 

ployed four district demonstration agents, one with headquarters at Nor- 
ton, with demonstration work in several counties in the northwestern 
corner of the State, having the cooperation of the Rock Island Railway 
Company and the United States Department of Agriculture in meeting 
salary and expenses. Another district demonstration agent has been 
located at Hays, conducting work in counties along the Union Pacific 
lines in western Kansas. A third district demonstration agent has been 
located at Dodge City, conducting demonstrations in the counties in the 
southwestern part of the State, the College being assisted in salary and 
expenses by the Santa Fe Railway Company and the United States De- 
partment of Agriculture. A fourth district demonstration agent has been 
assigned several counties in southeastern Kansas, with headquarters at 
Parsons, the College being assisted here by the United States Department 
of Agriculture. These men conduct demonstrations on from four to six 
farms in each county in the assigned territory in the growing of crops 
and in the feeding of stock. 

County Demonstration Agents. The College has assisted in the 
location of three county demonstration agents in the following counties: 
Leavenworth, Montgomery, and Cowley. The College, however, assumes 
no expense for the work of these agents, but directs the various demon- 
strations. 

BOYS' AND GIRLS' CONTESTS 

In the hope of creating a keener interest in rural life, contests in 
growing corn, potatoes, etc., and in baking, fruit canning, and sewing 
were inaugurated. They are usually considered a part of the work of the 
farmers'* institutes and are for the most part conducted by these organiza- 
tions. Prizes are arranged for, which in some counties aggregate as much 
as $400. Prizes for boys and girls fifteen years old and over are given in 
the form of free trips to the State institute held at the Agricultural Col- 
lege each winter. This is clearly educational work, and many county 
school superintendents state that these contests in corn, bread, etc., have 
stimulated the entire year's work of country schools. Beginning with 
1911, the rules for the contest were changed, and three additional rec- 
ommendations were made: (1) Each boy shall plant one acre of corn, from 
which his ten ears must be selected for the contest. (2) Any boy may join 
a yield contest, provided he notify the executive committee of his institute, 
on or before the first of October, that he thinks his acre will yield, for all 
territory east of the Sixth Principal Meridian, seventy-five bushels, for 
the next three counties west (to the west line of Barton and Smith coun- 
ties), sixtgr bushels, and in all territory farther west, forty bushels per 
acre, of corn or kafir. (3) Institute committees are urged to introduce, 
for boys between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two, a five-acre con- 
test; the contestant to notify the committee on or before the first of 
October that he thinks his corn will yield seventy-five, sixty, or forty-five 
bushels per acre, according to territory. The College recommends that 
the prize for the one winner in this contest be $50 cash on conditidn that 
the winner attend the Farmers' Short Course at the Agricultural College 
for ten weeks. 



Division of College Extension 279 

BOYS' AND GIRLS' MEETINGS 
The College is inaugurating a system of special meetings for the boys 
and girls who engage in the various contests. This work will usually be 
conducted in the form of a county campaign, consisting of four or six 
afternoon meetings a week, for the purpose of reaching the boys and girls 
engaged in the various contests. When these young people become suffi- 
ciently interested the representatives of the College will assist them in 
forming organizations to be known as the "Boys' Good Farming Club" 
and the "Girls' Home Economics Club." The College is also organizing, 
in towns and villages of the State, "boys' poultry clubs" and "boys' garden 
clubs." "Girls' flower clubs" will also be organized where there are no 
"city beautiful leagues." Special circuits will be arranged for these boys' 
and girls' meetings, similar to those of the regular farmers' institutes, 
and the officers of these clubs will report to a College official as do the 
officers of the institutes. 

MOVABLE SCHOOLS IN AGRICULTURE 
As a means of intensifying the work of the farmers' institutes, "mov- 
able schools" are to be held in those communities that have high institute 
records. Schools will be conducted in "dairying," "poultry," "orcharding," 
"stock judging and breeding," "corn culture," "road making," and "con- 
crete construction." These schools will continue for three days, from 
nine A. M. to four p. M. There must be a membership of not less than 
twenty-five or more than forty, and each member must pay a fee of one 
dollar to meet the necessary expenses. Where a class of sixty is formed, 
two instructors will be sent and two courses will be offered. In case a 
single school possesses a total membership of sixty men and forty women, 
the instruction may be continued for a period of five days. 

SCHOOL CAMPAIGNS 
A state campaign for agricultural education would be incomplete if it 
did not affect the rural schools. According to a recent legislative enact- 
ment, all teachers are hereafter required to take an examination in 
elementary agriculture. It is not required that agriculture be taught in 
the rural schools of the State, but within the next two years it will un- 
doubtedly become a part of the daily course of study of every school in 
Kansas. In cooperation with the county school superintendents and in- 
stitute workers, the Agricultural College is each year holding "school- 
house campaigns" in a few counties, for the purpose of stimulating in- 
terest in agriculture among children, teachers, and patrons. In these 
campaigns the College representative is usually able to speak in four 
schoolhouses each day, and to give a lecture in the evening, either in a 
rural schoolhouse or in some village. The representatives sent to the 
different counties are chosen with reference to the prevailing interests of 
the respective localities. 

AGRICULTURAL TRAINS 
The College has enjoyed for several years the cooperation of the lead- 
ing railroads of Kansas in the matter of special educational trains, such 
as "corn," "alfalfa," "wheat," "dairy," "drainage," and "good roads" 



280 Kansas State Agricultural College 

trains. By this means it has been possible to meet many thousand people 
and to impress upon them in a forceful way the importance of seed selec- 
tion, of improved methods of culture, of the value of better dairy stock, 
silos etc 

COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS 

Another form of effort to make practical the instructions given in the 
farmers' institutes is the organization of "Cooperative Breeding Associa- 
tions/* "Fruit Growers' Associations," "Vegetable Growers' Associations/'" 
"Community Breeding Associations," etc. Year by year greater effort is 
being made to induce farmers to put into practical operation the plans 
discussed at the meetings. 

EXHIBITS AT FAIRS 
For three years the Department of Farmers' Institutes and Demonstra- 
tions has been preparing and furnishing for county fairs a very complete 
exhibit relating to agriculture and home economics, the exhibit consisting 
of from fourteen to sixteen large boxes containing charts, photographs 
and other illustrative material, illustrating important agricultural ex- 
periments and important agricultural and economic information. 

PUBLICATIONS 

Since definite subjects are selected for each year's institute work, with 
a view to bringing about a certain unanimity of action, it seems ap- 
propriate that some of these subjects be treated more at length, be pub- 
lished in pamphlet form, and then be mailed to all institute members. 
These pamphlets were first issued as special numbers of The Industrialist, 
but later, under the name of Agricultural Education, this publication was 
entered in the post office as a regular periodical. There is a membership 
fee in all institutes; all members receive free from four to six or more 
numbers of the periodical during each year. A large edition of each 
number is printed, and back numbers are mailed to new members until 
the supply is exhausted.

Highway Engineering and Irrigation 

W. S. Gearhart, State Highway Engineer. 
H. B. Walker, Drainage and Irrigation. 
A. R. Losh, Assistant Engineer. 
Fred R. Hesser, Assistant Engineer. 

HIGHWAY ENGINEERING 

It is eminently proper that the Agricultural College should maintain 
a trained highway engineer who is primarily the State adviser for county 
and city officials on matters relating to roads and bridges. He makes 
plans and specifications for bridges and culverts and advises as to their 
location. He examines proposed highway improvements, and, if it is de- 
sired, makes plans and specifications for such road work, whether the 
improvement contemplates the use of macadam, oil, or sand-clay, or is 
simply to be an improved earth road. Later, if desired, he will inspect 
all bridge and road work on its completion and report its condition to the 
proper county or city officials. All such work is done without charge to 
the local community, other than for actual traveling expenses. When 
other work will permit, he also advises bridge contractors, and furnishes 
plans, specifications, etc., on the same terms as to officials, except that the 
contractor will be charged the actual cost of a draftsman's time in drawing 
the plans. 

DRAINAGE AND IRRIGATION ENGINEERING. 
It has been found by careful investigation, that there are more than 
twenty counties in eastern Kansas where large areas of valuable land are 
in great need of systematic tile drainage. In October, 1910, the Agricul- 
tural College employed, and is now maintaining, a public drainage engi- 
neer whose duties are outlined much as are the duties of others connected 
with this department — attending farmers' institutes from October to 
March, and from March to October advising with farmers, county sur- 
veyors, and engineers, relative to the best and most economical plans of 
straightening creeks and rivers, and draining fields and farms, and of 
developing plants for farm irrigation. To this engineer are assigned all 
problems relating to farm irrigation. His services are absolutely free 
other than the usual charge for traveling and local expenses. 



Home Economics 

Frances L. Brown. 
Mary E. Simmons. 
Florence Snell. 
Adah Lewis. 

While thousands of young women have had residence instruction in 
domestic science at the Agricultural College, there are still many other 
thousands who have been unable to take advantage of the excellent facili- 
ties which the College possesses in this field- Therefore, the Division 
of College Extension employs four competent teachers and demonstrators 
in this subject, to carry instruction in home economics to these absent 



282 Kansas State Agricultural College 

ones. These teachers attend farmers' institutes for the regular institute 
period of five months, hold "movable schools" for three months, and then 
hold "women's meetings/' and attend teachers' institutes, chautauquas, 
grange meetings, women's club meetings, etc., the rest of the year. At 
all times an extensive correspondence is carried on with the women and 
girls of the State. "Girls' Home Economics Clubs" are also organized in 
high schools and in rural neighborhoods, using regular cooking and sew- 
ing lessons sent out from the department. Correspondence with women's 
clubs is also invited relative to occasional lessons in cookery, for which 
printed lessons are sent on request. 

MOVABLE SCHOOLS IN HOME ECONOMICS 
The College is able to reach a limited number of persons by means of its 
actual class and laboratory work. The institute program reaches many 
more with its system of lectures and addresses. In addition, the movable 
schools in home economics, giving definite courses of instruction which 
occupy at one place a period of one week, enable the College to carry its 
educational services directly to the homes of the people. These schools 
continue during a single week, from 1:15 p.m., Monday, to 11:45 a.m., 
Saturday. The sessions of the schools of economics are conducted accord- 
ing to the following program: Cookery, from 9 to 11:45; sewing, from 
1:15 to 3:45; "round table" for the public, from 4 to 5. For a course to 
be organized, it should have not less than, twenty and not more than forty 
members. A fee of one dollar a member is paid to the local committee 
for the purchase of supplies, and for the entertainment of the two College 
teachers who conduct the class. No visitors are permitted until after the 
conclusion of the day's work, at 3:45 p.m. The sessions of the schools 
are held in the months of March, April, May, and September. 

GIRLS' HOME ECONOMICS CLUBS 
The College is able to give personal instruction in home economics each 
year to only about eight hundred girls; through the "movable schools" it 
is not likely that more than five hundred women and girls can be reached 
annually with the limited instruction that can be given by the present 
force of teachers during the periods of one week each; through the 
farmers' institutes and women's institutes, not more than five thousand 
women are likely to receive the information that can be given in the more 
or less formal discussions; through correspondence courses it is not prob- 
able that more than a few hundred persons will be reached. The College 
is, therefore, undertaking in addition the work of organizing hundreds of 
"girls' home economics clubs" in town and village high schools^ and in 
rural communities. A certificate is granted to a club having six charter 
members, although better results are likely to follow from a larger mem- 
bership. Printed lessons in cooking and sewing are supplied by the sec- 
retary of the club, together with blanks for reports, which are to be 
handed in after each lesson. Literature relating to the work being con- 
ducted is sent by the College to the individual members of the clubs. In 
a limited way this is a form of correspondence-study, and girls can to a 
certain extent be prepared for either the regular correspondence courses, 
for domestic science work in high school or college, or for their usual 



Division of College Extension 283 

home duties. The work also prepares the way for the regular teaching 
of domestic science and art in the high schools of the State. It is hoped 
that it may be arranged for a College representative to visit these clubs 
annually. A small charge, to ,be paid the' College, is required of each 
club organized under the College auspices. 



CorrespoiideEce Study 

H. L. Kent, Secretary Agricultural and Academic Courses. 
Geo. E. Bray, Mechanic Arts Courses. 

The Kansas State Agricultural College offers to the men and boys and 
the women and girls of Kansas an opportunity to study agriculture, home 
economics, mechanic arts, and farm engineering at home, alone, or in 
groups, believing that it is as much a part of the province of the institu- 
tion to offer such instructions to those who can not attend the College 
class as it is to offer instruction to those who are able to undertake studies 
at the College. Opportunity is therefore offered for systematic study by 
correspondence in many subjects which have a direct bearing upon the 
problems of the farm and the home. 

Three lines of work are offered for the purpose of helping those who 
have only limited time to study on any particular subject, but who need 
help, and then more extended courses for those who have more time. An 
opportunity is also offered for those who wish to study with the idea of 
securing college credit. 

FOR WHOM INTENDED 
The correspondence courses here outlined should be of especial interest 
to the following classes of persons: 

(1) Boys and girls who have completed the common-school course of 
study, but who can not immediately attend a high school or other pre- 
paratory school. 

(2) Young men and women who feel that their school days are over, 
but who have aspirations, not yet satisfied, for a better education. 

(3) Men and women of middle life who wish to know more of the 
sciences of the farm and of the home. 

(4) Men who have been farming along general lines, but who have 
developed an interest in some special kind of work, such as orcharding or 
dairying, and who wish to direct their attention chiefly to that field. 

(5) Road supervisors who need to know more of the science of road 
making, the building of culverts, etc., but who can not afford to stop their 
work and take a special course. 

(6) Men and women who have passed middle life, who are about to 
retire from active farming, but who intend to keep their minds young 
by study, and who desire to enrich their own experience by adding to 
what they themselves have gained a knowledge of what has been dis- 
covered by others. 

(7) Capitalists and business men who are holding investments in 
lands, and who should know how to make those investments increase 
in value. 



284 



Kansas State Agricultural College 



(8) Teachers who desire to teach agriculture or home economics in 
special classes, or who wish to learn how to enrich their teaching in the 
sciences. 

Only a small percentage of the farming population of Kansas is able 
to attend the classes in the Agricultural College; in all, about 100,000 
people attend the farmers' institutes; a few hundred attend the movable 
schools. There still remain nearly a million adult people living in the 
country, few of whom have ever read carefully a single book on farm 
crops, dairying, horticulture, farm drainage, or the like. The College is 
now prepared to offer correspondence courses in the following subjects:

Student Organizations 



STUDENT COUNCIL 

The student council is a representative body which was organized by 
the students in 1909 and received official sanction from the Board of 
Regents and the Faculty of the College. Its objects are: "(1) To act as 
a representative body before the governing officers of the College in all 
matters that concern the individual students, student organizations, or 
the student body as a whole; (2) to act as a body of mediation between 
different student organizations or enterprises whenever such service is 
sought by such organizations or enterprises; (3) to take cognizance of all 
matters that pertain to the good name and scholarship of the student 
body, to the end that high standards of honor on the campus and else- 
where may be maintained." 

This student council consists of four members elected from the senior 
class, three from the junior, two from the sophomore, and one from the 
freshman class. In addition, the subfreshman class elects a delegate, who 
has the privilege of speaking on subjects pertaining to his class, but has 
no vote. At each meeting of the council a committee of the College 
Faculty may also be present to participate in the discussions. The mem- 
bers of the council are elected each term, but at each election at least two 
of the representatives of the senior class and one of those of the junior 
class must be reelected. 

The student council occupies an interesting and valuable place in the 
College life, and as a whole may be said to be an unqualified success in 
establishing a system of representative government among the students 
touching affairs peculiarly their own, and also in matters involving the 
Faculty. All acts of the council are submitted to the President of the 
College, and if they concern the rules, regulations, or ordinances of the 
College, are subject to approval by the proper governing body. The coun.- 
cilis especially helpful in maintaining a high standard of honor among 
the students in both individual and organized relations. As a means of 
securing a better understanding in matters likely to cause friction be- 
tween the student body and the Faculty, the council performs a most im- 
portant function. 

THE CHKISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS 

The Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's 
Christian Association are organizations of the greatest worth and value 
in the College community, forming centers of moral culture and religious 
stimulus among the young men and women during their developmental 
period. As is well known, the Christian associations in colleges stand for 
the best ideals among the students, and are always accorded the cordial 



Student Organizations 287 

support of the authorities. In addition to general moral and spiritual 
development, the College Christian associations are of practical and effi- 
cient influence among the students in many directions. Membership in 
these associations is limited to persons connected with Protestant evangeli- 
cal churches, but others are admitted as associate members. 

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. 

The College Y. M. C. A. has always been a strong and influential body 
among the students. Its growth may be indicated by the fact that the 
organization was able in 1908 to erect a handsome building for its pur- 
poses at a cost of $35,000, on the corner of Eleventh and Fremont streets, 
near the College grounds. 

This building contains reading rooms, eighteen students' living rooms, 
a dining hall, and a gymnasium 42 x 70 feet, provided with lockers, baths, 
etc. The building with its conveniences is open free to all students, al- 
though a small fee of five dollars a year is charged for the use of the 
gymnasium and baths. One of the useful and practical features of the 
Y. M. C. A. is a students' employment bureau, which is maintained for 
the benefit of all students seeking employment. The religious work of the 
organization includes various courses for the study of the Bible and the 
work of Christian missions, which are maintained through the winter. 
The regular religious meetings of the association occur on Thursday 
evenings from 6:45 to 7:30, while occasional Sunday afternoon meetings 
are also held. Special meetings and receptions, which serve to broaden 
the acquaintanceship of the students and promote good-fellowship, are 
arranged from time to time. Especial attention is given the new students 
on and after their arrival, and assistance is rendered in securing rooms 
and boarding places for them. The association maintains a regular secre- 
tary, with whom prospective students are cordially encouraged to cor- 
respond. Address, General Secretary, Y. M. C. A., Kansas State Agri- 
cultural College, Manhattan, Kan. 

YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 

Similar in aim and purpose to the organization of the young men is 
the Young Women's Christian Association. The Y. W. C. A. home, at 
905 Fremont street, is the permanent headquarters of the association, to 
which all young women of the College are at all times heartily welcome. 
An office for the secretary and a girls' rest room are also maintained 
during the College year on the first floor, southwest comer, of the Do- 
mestic Science and Art Building. The rooms at the College are open to 
visitors at any hour of the day and are attractively furnished with con- 
veniences for rest and study. 

At the association home, informal gatherings and entertainments lend 
variety and cheer to the life of the young women members and their 
friends. 

An employment bureau for women students is maintained by the gen- 
eral secretary, without charge to its beneficiaries. Various committees 
are responsible for the lines of work of the association. One of the 
most practical of these is the investigation of cases of illness among the 
College girls, and the rendering of assistance when necessary. At the 



288 Kansas State Agricultural College 

beginning of the College terms the incoming trains are met by a com- 
mittee of girls wearing purple bows, by means of which they may easily 
be recognized. This committee engages in assisting new women students 
in securing suitable lodging and boarding places. 

During the College year various social functions are held for the 
benefit of the College women. The first of these is an informal reception, 
held on the first Friday following the opening of College, in order to 
enable the College girls to become better acquainted with one another. 
Once each year, in the winter term, the two associations entertain jointly. 

The religious life of the Young "Women's Association is fostered by 
weekly religious meetings, by courses in the study of the Bible and in 
special Sunday services, for which outside speakers are often obtained. 
Courses for the study of mission work are also conducted. 

LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES 
The literary societies of the College, eight in number, are wholly 
students' organizations, holding weekly meetings in the College buildings. 
The Alpha Beta and the Franklin societies are open to both sexes; the 
Ionian, Eurodelphian, and Browning societies admit only young women 
to membership, while the Webster, Hamilton, and Athenian societies 
admit young men only. Students are encouraged to join one of these 
organizations for the sake of practice in the use of language, training 
in debate, and general experience in conducting meetings and in dealing 
with their fellows. These societies jointly maintain a debating council 
which cooperates with a Faculty committee in arranging for all inter- 
collegiate and interstate debates participated in by representatives of the 
College. The oratorical board, similarly maintained by these societies, 
arranges for the intersociety and intercollegiate oratorical contests. 

THE SCIENCE CLUB 
This is an organization of instructors and students for the promotion 
and advancement of science at the College. Membership is open to all 
persons interested in science. The meetings are held on the first Monday 
evening of each month in the lecture room of the Department of Chem- 
istry in Physical Science Hall. All papers given at these meetings repre- 
sent original work in science done at the institution. The program is 
further characterized by free discussion of the papers presented and by 
general scientific notes and news contributed by the members. 

AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS 
This national organization of electrical engineers has a College branch, 
which holds its meetings on the first Tuesday evening of each month in 
the rooms of the Department of Electrical Engineering on the first floor 
of Physical Science Hall. At these meetings, papers and discussions of 
professional interest are presented. Membership is confined to instructors 
and students in electrical engineering. 

THE AGRICULTURAL. ASSOCIATION 
The Agricultural Association, composed of students especially in- 
terested in agricultural progress, holds meetings every two weeks, on 
Monday evening, in Fairchild Hall. This organization has steadily in- 



Student Organizations 289 

creased in numbers and interest until it is a potent and progressive 
" factor in spreading the gospel of agricultural betterment. 

THE CADET CORPS 

Under the provisions of the Morrill act of 1862, under which the Col- 
lege was founded, instruction in military science and tactics is obliga- 
tory. Military science and drill are required of all men students in the 
freshman and sophomore years. This body of young men is formed into 
a cadet corps, organized into two battalions of infantry, under the com- 
mand of a United States regular army officer in active service, tempo- 
rarily detailed to this duty. The cadet corps is officered by upper class- 
men and constitutes a body under excellent discipline and training, and 
of attractive military bearing. 

The uniforms are of the West Point pattern, and the insignia of rank 
are those of the United States infantry. The uniform is required to be 
worn while on military duty by all students subject to the drill regula- 
tions, and by reason of its neat appearrance and serviceable character it 
is also quite frequently used by the under classmen for daily wear. Mil- 
itary discipline and training for a short time in a student's life has 
undoubted value in creating habits of obedience, neatness, and precision, 
and in the development of an esprit de corps. 

THE COLLEGE BAND 

The College band is a military organization, composed of cadets 
assigned to this duty for the College year in lieu of drill and technical 
military instruction. The band is limited in its membership, and attend- 
ance of the members upon its exercises is obligatory. It has proved an 
effective aid to the cadet corps, stimulating a love for martial music, and 
affording an attractive feature of the various public ceremonial occasions 
at the College. 

THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA 

The orchestra is a student organization connected with the Depart- 
ment of Music, membership in which is voluntary. Its daily training 
under competent leadership results in the acquisition of a considerable 
repertoire of musical compositions of the best quality. Those connected 
with the orchestra obtain in this way familiarity with the works of 
many of the great composers, and among the students at large the orches- 
tra is an efficient aid in cultivating a taste for and an appreciation of 
good music. 

ATHLETIC ORGANIZATIONS 

By means of the new gymnasium the College is now prepared to give 
complete physical as well as mental training. This building, which is 
equipped with all the usual accessories, assists in developing and main- 
taining physical tone and health in the student body. In addition to the 
gymnasium classes, and physical training in the military corps of cadets, 
all young men are encouraged to develop their physical skill by playing on 
practice teams in various athletic lines. In the fall, football teams are 
organized; in the fall and winter basket ball; while in the spring baseball, 
tennis, and track athletics prevail. Every possible encouragement is 
given all students desirous of participating in these games to enter the 

-10 



290 Kansas State Agricultural College 

practice teams and receive the necessary instruction. The most pro- 
ficient of these have opportunity to enter the first teams and participate 
in intercollegiate contests. The College authorities encourage all reason- 
able and sane athletic development,- as a means for the training of 
physical qualities desirable in men everywhere. Professionalizing ten- 
dencies are strictly repressed, and the athletic rules adopted by the Faculty 
prevent, by proper regulation, all participation in intercollegiate games 
on the part of students deficient in their studies. 

"The women students have equal opportunity for general physical train- 
ing with the young men. In the gymnasium, under a physical director, 
they receive training suitable to their needs. Basket ball and tennis 
teams are organized among the young women.
